    went a 10.05 @73 in first gear :biglaugh: ive never seen a auto car bog so bad off the line track prep was set on kill I think a little wheel spin may had helped in this situation. car started pulling good after the 1/8th mile lights

    the gear was 146 shipped after the discount code i found online

    Thats funny. You think it's all in the gear?
    I paid $318 total. Has a spool. Hope I get rid of the rubber band feel.
