Mark is right, don't be too upset by the speed at Colchester against their normal drivers, they are probably using modified or brushless motors that will be a lot quicker. Don't listen to "the get new everything brigade".
Many racers at Ipswich areusing "old" gear to great effect. My Car for instance is at least 4 versions behind the lastest Tamiya.
Have a world with John Green as he is I believe running the same car as you

so should the 5.71 ratio that ive got be ok, because to get the 6.50 ratio i would need to go down to a 22tooth pinion and would be 6.49 according to GEARCHART.COM.
many thanx aaron 
P.S would it be ok to use your comm lathe mark and i will bring the brushes and springs if galaxy have got them |
