Haven’t tried. If you can get a hold of one of each and measure it as best you can, that’s the only way to know.

Im betting they’re pretty close. I would definitely try it with the steel clutch bell first just to make sure.

Whats the story behind Gary Huangs rear wheels at the SIGP? Did they paint them to be easier to clock?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Boredom, I’m ordering an XR8 e 2. My track is right most likely they won’t run this. I’m ordering a normal wedge body but have you tried others? I’d like to have a Vette or something like that. any pics? Wheel base is around 299mm yes?

Hi all, back from the fuel On-Road Nats in California.. Had a blast!
First time with the car, just recently switched over to Xray. Really love the car so far.

Will share my setup shortly.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi David!

Engine was running amazing... just shifting a little late (my fault). Ran out of Fuel... My guy left me out there for too long.
It happens, no one is perfect 😉.

Joe, you need an AB mods motor !!! Four minutes and twenty eight seconds was all it took for your current powerplant to run out of gas. You need an engine that can go above five minutes before you start looking at the pitman...You had the cleanest lines out of the main, but no power down the straight: my ntc3 can go faster than that down the straight !!! LOL !!!

Appreciate your comments Bert. There is no way to make 5 min at Steel City. Most have tried. Best people were getting is a little over 4:30min.
My runtime was between 4 min and 4:20min. My pitman left me out there too long.
