I'm thinking with the 25,5 the novak boss may be the way to go over the cruncy M2 motor. Maybe a starting FDR 2,8 ??? couple of Fans??? Little piece of dry ice in front of the Fan???

The dedicated velodrome guys are running like.. 1.5mm bodies.... you'll keep creating downforce, but how long before the body collapses under the load.

.......... I guess we'll find out....

CRC is shipping us some door prizes as well.

My goodness, this is shaping up to be something real.

So who's coming for goodies?

I hope CRC shipped some comically oversized opinions, this 80t was the largest I could find. Got to a 1.97 with the 83t spur. Gonna go fast or melt down a motor trying!

Oh man that's asking for trouble. I don't think I can go much bigger without having to cut out the bottom of my chassis

That's... a spur to pinion adapter? I.. am at a loss for words. This is a wildly bad idea. And.. I need to buy it.

Has anyone actually tried to drive on this? I went to my local High School running track (1/4 mile) and I could barely get around due to sight limitations. Granted that was completely flat and I was standing on the ground.

Sounds like a hoot, hope I can make it.

There's bleachers to stand on, and it's banked. So as long as you're on "top" you can see the whole track clearly.

Take a look:
