It is 4 pole and slightly heavier at 216g compared to the 211g Reedy 3300kV 4 pole motor that it came with.

Are there advantages/disadvantages running an aluminum idler gear? Please post your opinions and/or experiences. I recently just picked up an aluminum idler gear for a 2.6 trans on ebay.

Thank God

Sounds interesting

More B4 items trickling in.

1st FXT body painted. Had intentions to, but ran out of time to apply decals today.
