Ive been running a 9turn for some time now with no dramas whatsoever. Reliable and fast.
As long as youre sensible and allow cool downs between batteries and keep the motor serviced regularly you wont have any problems.

I have seen people, including me, ask where to get take off tires, and get no response. I finally found them on the schumacher USA website for those of us who live in the US. This link takes you to the page. http://www.racing-cars.com/usa/searc...rtname2=partno. you may have to copy and paste it. If youre outside the USA, go to www.powers-international.com , and find your areas Distributor. I haven't got mine yet, but i've heard the rubber stuff is great!

Well, I did get to paint the body a few days ago- pretty happy as its my first lexan. Will have to take a picture of it with the stickers on it now....
Not sure were I want to go with the car now, probly will end up with a quicker motor and some tires some time soon... One guy reccomends the orion method motors, because of the brushes they use- what do you guys think of them?

I'm probably going to get a 21T method R, and i've heard there good between 15-23 turns, just not under that. Get the R, because it has adjustable timing and a removable endbell.

Translation:
Got non-lexan paint but he thinks it came out good anyways.
It may look good now, but the paint will chip off the first time you hit something.
Wants to know about the tool to get a perfect circle in the body...I'm assuming for the body posts.
Use a basic drill bit or a dremel tool with the correct grinding tool (looks like a pointed sanding stone)

I use angle cutters to cut all my bodies. You could purchase a pair of lexan scissors if you want. As for the wheel sections of the body...i use my angle cutters, but carefully! They make a tool for cutting wheel wells...but you dont really need it...that is if you are that good
