RE: BIG TIME PROBLEM
Well being that dad was buying the parts of me he didn't want to spend too much money so we just went with the regular replacement parts. Although I forgot to tell him to get the 12T clutchbell being that it is the same as the regular. Oh well. Hopefully everything works out good and I don't have anymore issues. Thanks for everyone's input.

ok, it looks like I am getting the 12T clutch bell. Dennis emailed dad asked him about getting the 12T instead since it was the same price. Thanks Dennis.

No the shockwave and tornado bb have different suspensions. The tornado is a pivot ball suspension and the shockwave is a kingpin i think it is.

RE: BIG TIME PROBLEM
mhmm thank u for your comments. my idea was to just toss a whole front clip and maybe a 2speed tranny tornado, just want it beefy enough to hit the track without breaking arms in the first 5min and all the speed of a tornado, im tryin to say to hell with stock shockwave parts if tornado is the price or less....sorry im a noob

RE: BIG TIME PROBLEM
Really i would stick with the single speed, 2 speeds are great for running on road or doing speed runs because you get great top end. But on the track your really dont need it. Like say you go down the straight and then slow down and try to go around a corner and hit a jump, well if its still in second your not gonna be able to accelerate as good anymore. For off roading and track use, i would say stick to single speed, for on road and or speed runs go two speed.
