    well dave, i guess it`s a combination of getting my count up (& i`m sure you understand that one) and getting other peoples point of view. that`s how you find information without having to buy and trial every different combination. i thought that was the point of a forum.

    yeah i kinda got that impression too, would a bearing case make that much of a difference? either way i could do with one, my Xspeed has a turbo attached so at the mo i can`t enter a stock Xspeed race and i`m getting flogged in the open class:sad:..probably still will with a bearing cased Xspeed/turbo combo but more is better right!!

    kevsta, never used them but geo can tell you the pro`s & cons.. if i remember right they give a reasonable performance gain, down side is that you have to pull the motor apart at the end of the day & clean it, something to do with dust and crap being attracted to the drops??!! geo??

    thanks kevsta, i`ve gone back to a 9 tooth anyhow- too many meshing issues with anything bigger than that!! (& that`s what caused my plastic motor clip to snap in the first place) i`m keen on looking into a complete alloy motor mount but this topcad alloy clip is getting me by at the mo!!

    i read somewhere that kevsta gave TD`s Xspeed the thumbs up, especially against a stock Xspeed. does kyosho put out the BB Xspeed or is this an aftermarket hop up? sounds like the motor to have when we`re having Xspeed races!!

    cheers DGS, i`ll look up some stuff i need to quote & give it go.. & yeah, is there ever a need to put spacers behind the metal motor mount clip (that goes on the stock plastic mount)i bought the other day? cant figure how i`d adjust it for spacing requirements when using 10 tooth+ pinion gears??

    kevsta, speak of the devil!! does your GT3 shell take wide wheels? ..and where did you come across a metal motor clip that fits a stock plastic mount? ps, blew up my damned peugeot (real car)but hope to get down to meadowbank sometime soon; anyone sorted a track for down there??

    That GT3 body came with my ready set which was narrow wheels alround. However, the later tourer type porsches eg. taisan come with wide rears. You could dremel the inside of the wheel arches I guess if you really want to run wide rears with it.

    You’re going to bring back some bad memories of it being run over by the bike.

    That metal motor mount clip is available from most mini-z online retailers.

    How did you blow up your peugeot ? Who were you racing with this time ? 🙂

    the GT3 shell looks fine on the dummy chassis that focca`s red Z8 came on, wheels right to the gaurds. just that when i swapped the nose clip & put the GT3 shell on my 01 chassis, the wheels were way in. looked like a big fat chick with skinny legs
