Title: Good News!! I got it!!
Post by: Russ on February 14, 2008, 11:58:52 AM
Well it took 2 weeks but I finally got it today. Its in pretty good condition body wise. It came with alot of stuff like tires, ball diff, extra rims, aluminum 1 deg knuckles, aluminum 2 deg tie rod, extra spings, ball bearings, stainless king pins, Atomic FRP side plates, disc damper, front bumper, and some other stuff.

Whats bad is it came with no pinions or a motor installed. Although it did include an XSpeed motor that looks new. Also something looks askew with the rear suspension. It would be nice to have a stock front and rear end set up to know what these hopups actual improve. It also needs one of those clips that hold the front king pins in at the top.

Does anybody know what pinion I need for the XSpeed?

I'm sure I wont be ready to race it next week but I'll give it a shot.

I'd probably start with a 7 pinion on the x-speed,   it's won't be super fast but it also will be more controlable, especially for your first time with the F1.

So are the pinions the same as the racer then? I have some of those.
