Foxy,

Thanks for the feedback.
Do the 1:1 overdrive ratio parts come with the stock NT1 kit? If so, this really will help my decision to buy the NT1 or not or wait to see what's next from Hot Bodies.

I've understood that in the NT1 because of the:
-Drivetrain Efficiency
-Light Weight of the Chassis
-optional 1:1 overdrive ratio (assuming 1:1 parts come as a standard option in the kit, correct me if wrong)

...the NT1 will surpass the benefits of the Larger Pulleys on the RACER 2 with a 1:1 overdrive ratio.
Is this correct? It just rests in my mind that the 1:10 kit w/ the largest pulleys & diffs is going to spin faster ultimately, regardless of the effeciency of the rotation and the grams of weight it's pulling or rotating. Don't get me wrong, I want the kit, I just want to be convinced it's the best 1:10 ever created and is CAPABLE. A bullet proof & versatile kit w/out engine is so much more important to me. It's a comfort zone. Educated buying.

Also, do larger spur & pinion gears from other Manufacturers fit on the NT1? Are there parts that will let the car run on single spur & pinion (non-2 speed)?

thanks alot for taking the time.
