hey! thanks for the welcome..!

a vid??!! then you'd see how "great" a driver i am! :005:

perhaps the next time i run this truck...if i can convince one of my buds to hold a camera??!

yes, them towers are the new ones from FLM.

i'm still trying to figure out the right pinion size for the HV.....ran some packs thru using a 16t pinion...ran really hot and the performance was...erm...well...kindda "BLAH"

next i ran a 13t pinion and it was wayyyyy better. acceleration was great and topend was quite good as was keeping up with some of the 1/8 nitros that were at the bash.....bad weather cut that run short tho.

i have my tranny locked into 2nd. and since i cant figure out the "science" of gear ratios......(yes i flunked maths)...i pretty much doing the "try it and see what happens" method of pinion selection..:eek:

i'm going to try a few packs thru the 13t pinion again this weekend, and see what happens....

anyone here using the the HV, with 12 cells, tranny locked in 2nd?.....what pinion do you use?.....oh btw the spur size is stock.
