Well I'm glad y'all like it. It's probably my favorite car right now.

wheres you get that gear that goes on the motor? whats it have like 10 teeteh? ill but it from you.
Yeah, it's 10 teeth, 7.2:1 final drive. It's what comes in the Cannonball clones. They're kinda noisy, and the back end of the chassis is lengthened slightly to accomodate the large pinion. Which means it doesn't fit standard bit bodies.

Actually the 7.2:1 is too high for a rally car. I need a 12:1 so I can off road. As it is, it has trouble pulling itself on carpet with dual cells and the high gearing. So I would be glad to trade for a 9.86:1, or 12:1 gearset, and I have I a stripped down Cannonball chassis I can throw in, but I'm not sure it would do either of us any good.

I love the wheels and tires, they give it a real rally look. How do they grip?
The tires are the ones that come with the Motorworks clones from Walmart. They are very soft, and grip excellent. The fronts grip too good. Instant flips, even before I dual celled it. I'm going to get a hold of some springs for the front end, see if that helps.
