I have never looked at the Q40 rules so I don't know what is allowed but if it's a scale type event and you're allowed retract gear then the racing type P51's would be better than something that uses fixed gear even with the wheel pants.
Thanks Bruce,
I forgot to mention that in Q40, retracts are prohibited. Most Q40 racers feel the P51 design is the fastest there is right now. So, all those Ashleys out there would be faster if they could only do something with the gear.
The L shaped wire is a good idea. I've done it myself but have always had it set up as "pull for on". Having it sit flush to the fuse side when on is something I'll try.
Thanks!
