    Yeah I will have to agree with that but you can get one of the $27 motors to go fast.. And it's ALL in the setup! People stick them hard and do other stuff and wonder why they don't run the #.. That's how it works in heads up racing (part of the reason people don't run it because they don't want to pay to keep up)

    I NEVER said Hardbody was expensive.. I don't run it anymore because I built a $200 car to win maybe $5 and tear my car up. We're just trying to make it so if we travel we don't have to change cars and the same for if people come here.. Econo motors and Hardbody motors cost the same if you build them from scratch. Hardbody motors are better since they're not the Chinese arms and you only get 1 cut out of an Econo arm.. I'm not sure what the difference is on the motors your talking about we have old stuff the only thing that changed is the new motors for $50 that are a little better.

    I agree with Scottie. Most of you people look over the stupidest things that make the cars fast.

    We don't look over it your suppossed to run what was in the motor stock.. And the rules you posted aren't the same as ours we don't have a set gearing I didn't read the rest but in those rules it also says "ONLY can the brushes and springs be changed" If you want to run hardbody arms run them in a Hardbody where it's legal.. And rules are set so you do what's on the rule sheet and follow it not what isn't on it..

    so if it says said only brushes and spring changes ...then 90% of prostock is illegal??

    There isn't any cars right now running that are illegal. That is what this set of rules says but it isn't the same as our rule sheet.. Just keep stuff the way it is most people aren't gonna put up extra money to go fast. If you want to keep running heads up stuff I wouldn't change anything it will just lose people..

    We might have hit 15 a couple times that was with guys from Michigan and stuff. The only people that left were Mike, Rich, Rob (had a fast car) and when you weren't there.. Also with real cars coming out people do that instead.. You can still do that and be competitive.. Also I don't rebuild my cars or anything my old motor went consistent 1.040's tired (I only switched because I had 8 back up motors) and this one is tired and running consistent 1.020's almost every pass.. No need to cut, zap, or balance.. I have spare motors if your interested and other motors.. And you can listen to them before you buy them.. Also next week let me set your car up and I will get it to run a better et!

    I HAD a fast car. I can't complain though, I got almost a year out of that motor and did some damage with it. It was fun times, but I'm still not sure if I want to spend $50 to run that class. Oh well, we'll see what happens next year. Yeah I know, I'm cheap what can I say?
