I don't know why my test car comes off at 50C after 20 minutes running, but for fear of having problems and accusations on the day I'm likely to lift the gearing rule so that it is your fault through driving or incorrect gearing if the motor blows, however again this will be decided at the test weekend.
For now concentrate on re-building the cars, designing quick release battery mechanisms, formulating strategies and painting shells. :-)

Sorex get my vote, i would even opt for the pre-built sets and put some sort of spoked wheel design on for effect, after all a good racing experience is what we are all after not guess work with tires we have had for a week or so before the event.
again if we all have the same gearing then it will be more about driving and not money? to win? if the motors or speedos blow up then use some sense and drive for endurance we will be all in the same boat so to speak.
and finally i would love to plan a strategy but with so many unknowns it's kind of a wild stab in the dark at the moment.
For the tire situation can we not just have a vote for which tire to use or just leave the tire choice up to us as a team????
