hey asheck,

nice to see you around!

throttle control was the same thing i was thinking....i took it out tonight on his track, and it was crazy fast on his back straightaway with the 13t pinion. not great on the jumps, but i think that was more me than the 8ight.

temps were a little on the high side (motor) , but it might have been undergeared as i was hitting top speed about 1/2 the way down the straight.

i'm gonna go race at awsome hobbies this weekend and see what people are gearing.

i'll give it a try...i'm gonna be racing for the first time in years this weekend and will check out other people's set-ups as well.

thanks everyone for the advise.
