And cool build guys! Love the chain set up! Any videos of it in action? With sound!?

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)
Nice! So when you first posted about the car running in 25.5 class, I was curious to see how fast the cars would be with that high of turn motor. Looking on YouTube I was surprised to see they are actually pretty quick. So my question is what is the approximate final ratio on a set up like that? Sorry if that a goofy question, I have not raced rc cars since brushless and lipos were main stayed.

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)
Gotcha. So with that set up, I’m guessing faster than the old 27 turn roar motors and obviously tons more torque! Very impressive, and I understand now why the 17.5 in my runner rc10 is not so impressive lol I need to get some bigger pinion gears!
I knew from the pictures you posted it was pretty tall, judging from the pinion to spur sizes. My main brushless experience was back when we were still running Aveox, Hacker and Lehner motors in fast electric boats, that was late 90s early 2000s. We all ran direct drive, so no gears there. I was also racing touring cars and 1/10 off-road at the time, but brushless was not legal then and lipos were even further off, non of us even thought about brushless in the cars because a lot of our motors were non 05 size. Oh well, still “re-learning” I guess!

We had about .5 inches of ice and snow last Sunday. Put about 60K people without power. Ours just came back yesterday. Just snow today. At least it's pretty to look at out the kitchen window.

It's unfortunately bad for many in the northern part of LA where as the majority of the rest of the city is kinda in the clear for now. I'm about 7 miles from the nearest fire to me. Not gonna lie it was/still is scary as sh*t! Here was my view wednesday at 7am in the morning as I was on my way out to work.....
Old school racing all the way!

I am much further away in Orange County and work even further away in Riverside County. This was a shot I took from our carpool, as I sat in the backseat, out the front window of the car as we entered Orange County today. I cropped out the traffic, LOL.

On the lighter side, I never realized Level 1 of this game was set in front of a strip club.
