SWEET!!! Bronco's rock. Well I'm not sure what gear the stock size is but I have a Himax 2510 4100 coming so the brushless will be going on instead of the stock brushed motor. Last night at the field I was also given a suggestion to try the smaller wire landing gear. Take the wheel skirts off and put on I think they called the wheel locks (not sure it that is the correct term but i Know the lhs will know exactly what I need to do). Suggestion was made only because the wire landing gear has a piece of ply wood the holds it in the fuse. If the landing gear were to break I could screw this other gear right into the wood. The gear I have made up doesn't wiegh much more the wire if any. I haven't weighed it yet though. But being a machinist by trade I have lightened it up a lot and still kept the rigidity (I hope).
