I was not planning on changing the tires or wheels
No worries about my lipos...

yes that was the bore reducer I was talking about. I will order some of those and some Mod1 gears
14 tooth pinion was right about at what I was thinking so I will order 12 thru 16 so I have plenty available for tuning
Most of my cars lead a pretty easy life being run only once or twice a week on the track so this one will probably be the same way
I can't wait to get this one done and see how she performs

Thanks for the quick response!
told me exactly what I needed to know
