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.

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.

Why don't you come take a ride and see for yourself?
