Thanks J, I read right by that. I raced RCPro in '06 and I don't remember that rule. They must have added it last year when they made the arena truck class with it's single speed.

So now that changes things....

On the 8XL, I almost went 7 but thought I could just gear. A lot of the tracks I've been on usually only have one long straight and then a ton of tech stuff so I figured the 8 would be OK. I might just go get a 7 too. I was thinking of upgrading to a Neu 1515 1Y too.

Now I'm thinking Revo trans gutted to foward only. I'll probably build one with a diff and one without. Should I keep the manual brakes?

Couldn't I say my new Emaxx trans is 2-speed and just leave it in high? Maybe ;)

Qualifiers are usually 5-10 min and mains range from 15 to 60min.

Here are the rules I must fit in.
