Status: offline 		I ran the 2 speed one racer today and can honestly say that car is scary fast. Went on the safe side with the gearing just to get a feel for the way it is going to handle. I am out of receivers for my good controler so I used a rtr one for now and I can see that its not going to work without having the fine tuning adjustments. The sensitivity is too much for speeds this fast. That ofna 2 speed works awesome on the racer so if you have one i would give it a try. I used the stock 18t pulleys with a 19/22 38/41 gears and ran the 1/8th rear tires since i'm going for top speed. This car has a front one way so I didnt have to worry about the size diference in tires. It is a rocket in first and the 2nd shift makes it hop a couple times but nothing that noticable. If you couldnt hear it you wouldnt know at all. It pulls in 2nd just as fast as first but I didn't wind it out all the way yet. There was too many kids in the area for a near 100 pass. Need to get a new radar because the one I got dont work unless you can fly by next to it but I feel pretty confident that if the 3.3 in there will get very close to that 100 mark

I would trust them over a radar gun which can change depending on the angle it reads the car on.

gps is gps and pretty accurate in comparison with no human side to worry about.

Status: offline 		Thanks fdjizm I wondered what make that was. With those it will tell you your max at any point too. I will go there and buy one now. I highly recommend the ofna 2 speed. My motor moved on the 2nd tank and took the teeth off of first again so I need to figure out a way to make it stay put. I had that same problem with the firestorm when it was on there. Not sure but it think it is because of the way it turns and they mesh together. It works fine on the cd3s but when you put it in anything that the motor is on the other side of the spur it tears the teeth off every time just when you get comfortable and hammer down the motor just revs out.

I have more spur gears but will probably run that same motor in the other car with a 25/34 on stock pulleys and then change them to the 20t and see if they make that big of a change.

And surprisingly the center axles hold up well, the rear axles are a problem so you're going to need spares, I've twisted off 3 of them so far. I did try a .32 though and really no need for that much torque and the car was a bit slower up top, .21 to .28 is all you will ever need. (modified of course)

I had to open a case because the guy wouldn't take it back since it was on in th picture. Looking closer at the picture you can see that it was about to die on him too. I hate people like that. The cars have just sat since stripping the spur but I am going to mess around with one today.

Status: offline 		The lower the number the softer the tire will be. It is the color scale that throws me off yet. Tire width all depends on what you want to do with the car. I would go with a narrower tire if you are trying for top speed. It is all a learning curve to figure out what works best for your application.
