I was watching the interviews after the race and Hayden said "Well what can I say, the better man and rider won, I knew I could do it".

Not Cocky? Well whatever floats your boat, but I'll make my own conclusion

He also said something about how he though Rossi was better than cracking under the pressure.

Ha, first of all, it is the rider's job to promote the bike..

No matter you win or lose, you always say, "my Hondazukiwasakima was working really well".. That's why you are a factory rider..

And after winning a championship where no one else gave him a chance (not even HRC, they were supporting Pedrosa more than Hayden, their supposedly #1 rider, but let's not get into political issue now..), what's so wrong to say that?!

Trust me, it might be taken out of context like this, but if you follow his career and see how humble he is, (he did not say one bad word on how HRC and Pedrosa through out the whole deal after he got punted by his teammate one 1 round to go.. you want class act?) you'd know what I am talking about..

Anyway, no biggie, it is all good, but I am just saying don't judge the book by its cover.. 1 interview does not make a racer..

I mean, people always say things on emtion.. I mean, Rossi came out after he made contact w/ Gibernau a couple of yrs ago and told the press that Gibernau will NEVER win again, etc. etc. I still think Rossi is a class act.. (he was the first to congratulate Hayden after the win on track..)

Not so class act? Pedorsa (but probably can't blame him, should blame his mentor / manager, LOL, brain washed him since he was young..), Biaggi (probably one of the most talented rider, but just give up so easily and always complain and complain and complain.. LOL...), etc.

Anyway...

...works fine...You will need to put spacers between the motor and the plate to help the wires clear the motor 'bay'...drivetrain wise it is fine but will benefit from third-party parts to tighten it up a little bit...

Actually for me the wires cleared the way. It was the shaft that didn't clear the spur gear cover... Had to take off 2-3mm from that... :\

Do you think slipper clutches are needed if you are just running a 19t motor at the most.

If you do a lot of jumping and you don't let off the throttle during landing.. then it might be hard on the drivetrain.. But then Tamiya drivetrain has always been stout..

I got it just for the heck of it.. LOL!!
