Had a blast saturday in San Diego went to the second round and low and behold I draw the guy that builds my motors PTM 'Pro Tune Motor' suffice to say he got me by a car and a half.............................
Cars ready for some gear change and turning up the tune for the last half of the track where I get caught in the last 30 feet, my first 30-50 feet the car leaves hard and straight just get caught at the end.............

Did a bunch of changes to the car had to scale her again and add 65 grams to make weight (2060 grams) she was lighter then I expected with the new Cuda body and changes I made.
The crown jewel of the build is this "all" aluminum transmission, it has an Avid top shaft with 5mm motor centering kit a plastic idler (cant find aluminum) and aluminum ball diff gear locked topped off with Avid ceramic bearings and Integy trans case. All I have to say is butter smooth.........................................

Had a little test session with some Tekin guys this past weekend (NOVA) and am coming to the realization that its time to let go of my Novak motors .................... I held on as long as I could the Novak Velociti line of motors did me happy pushed my car to the 2.4-2.5's averaging 60-65mph...
I can out half track anyone but the last 20-30' i get trained and blown by near the finish

I know the feeling. But on a happier note, your car looks and launches great! Well done!
Tested the Big Block yesturday and the Tekin RX8 with the new drag specific software is insane paired with the PTM tuned Novak 3.5 (12,300kv). Car is fast as its ever been and the learning curve started all over again...............................
