Ran a Pesca for some time with the front stub axles, etc. that had been highly worked on and made to be reliable. . They're fast, easy to run, and incredibly consistent. A great enduro car or for someone new to non-mag racing. *If* it will run and not break down.

Ran 7.02ish second laps over, and over, and over. Very, consistent.

The problem is my Moslers will run sub 7 second laps by a fair margin. So will a Spirit Dallara my friend has. So will my Slot.it...

Well, they certainly look nice. A lot better than the new Fly Poly Play School cars.

The thing about sheared off teeth on the pinion really surprises me though.

It is the car I will probably race next week at Fastlane in the no mag LMP open class.

So Revracer lost a pinion and I a pod. Both freak things? I don't know but time will tell.

Revracer had a bad crown gear (?) I believe.

Hello Dan & Shawn,

It was a bad pinion not crown, unbelieveable as it sounds. The teeth just sheared right off. I replaced it with a slot.it pjnion and have had no problems since. Yes the wing is quite delicate so are the mirrors, just part of the package I guess. I bought the car (Peugeot) to race and so I didn't expect these body pieces to last very long anyway, the pinion though was very unexpected...

The motor is great if geared properly. It has plenty of torque so 2.6:1 or less is ok by me.
The tires OK, but SlotIts fit. I put NSR rims on the rear.
The chassis is interesting but over engineered.
The plastic pod has a funny plastic and broke the first week because the motor screws were screwed in too tight? I hot glued the motor in and it works fine.
Gears - very good.
Sides of the pod need shaved so the pod can rotate if you want it to.
Mirrors break off...
