Jimmy, talked to Johnny today, with the new wheels and the 1.29's I think you'll attain that easily , I think you can add 5more, good luck and be careful, Our old Skaters can still run with those new MTI's.

That's right, Old Skaters can still provide some good numbers. It should work. Thanks!!!

Im sorry but that is not Lake Tahoe in the pics, Im two hours from Tahoe and that is not Tahoe. I believe it says it was done in Parker AZ.

Your probably right. All it says is it was "set up" to run at lake tahoe....thus the gearing and prop choice.

Not with 900's anyway.
