Thanks man definitely not bad with conservative gearing for 6s and just making a test pass. Hoping 8s will push another 20mph next pass I make

I always find its easier to start lower and work my way up. I'm at 32/34 right now and just hit a 129mph tonight on 8s which is a new PB. Think that's about all the speed that gearing has. Maybe 130mph. I had a blow out after the 3rd pass again, so I had to call it before I saw 130mph. Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to go the foams route, which means its time to buy a truer.Thanks man definitely not bad with conservative gearing for 6s and just making a test pass.

Ya I went to foams for 130+ and have been running them since. I run them as they are though I don't true them at all and haven't had any issues as of yet. I ran BSR purples last season and they held up amazing this year I'm running banana skinz and so far they've been all good.

Good to know. I'm gonna order a set now. Can't deal with the GRP uncertainty even though I love the way they drive. Assuming you do balance them like you would a GRP tire or do you literally just throw them on your car out of the package?

Ya I balance them just like any tire but in my experience foams need very little balancing compared to the old GRP's.

Another little update with the lighting. I added another light for the front so I can ditch the obnoxious neon green tape I was using for visibility. Going to attempt a few passes tonight assuming traffic isn’t bad. Also testing the PP carbon driveshafts I just installed. Hopefully everything goes smooth.

The PP CF drive shafts are
. Their concentricity is second to none. I think you'll like them

They look gorgeous that’s for sure. I did throw a 4s pack in and cruised down my road. Honestly no more than 15 or so since I have like 50 yards before speed bumps and they def sound weird. Gonna look the car over before I run it after rush hour, but something definitely sounds off.The PP CF drive shafts are

Just got back from making a few passes on the new PP drive shafts. They definitely feel much smoother and linear than the stock ones. I am having a reoccurring issue where the grub screws on my spool keep backing out after I make a pass leaving the car immobilized. I used a red locktite this time and it still came loose or severed it. Just got in and haven't gotten the spool out yet. This issue only started once I got to 130 and above. Any help figuring it out would be greatly appreciated
