But he's just 1 person, when Alex USA grows, if they picked up a couple more drivers like him, the R2 would get out much more in the states. I know a ton of drivers out there dont even know that the car exists...

Thank you very much for all your responses about gearing! I will just have to experiment a little more with my pinion then. I will even try the '3-second' rule.
BTW, yes, I did get my cuda used - but it was in excellent condition. I tore it down and rebuilt it anyway - including cleaning all the bearings - Except for the one-way. I'd never had a one-way before I didn't know what to do with it so I just left it. Then last race it got destroyed after getting hit from the side (that and a wheel). Maybe it got tight because I didn't re-oil it - I dunno. So, I'm buying a new 4-bearing one-way - what kind of maintenance do these thing require? Do I just need to clean and oil this thing just like my other bearings? I just use bearing old drops from Trinity on my other bearings.

They didn't take too highly of a 3 year old yoke doing it...hehe...they'll need 20lb test line to catch up with it...

The videos I downloaded were just a minute long. It covers only a few laps....4 or 5 maybe.
