Congratulations Bill on your Best in Show !! Great job !! Thank You Jeff for another awesome race. Thank You to all the sponsors. Jeff you described the 4GU’s Perfect. When testing one at a time it thumps the track pretty good. I bet 2 side by side is Wild. I hope you still decide to run this class. With the short shut down I would be willing to take the chance. I don’t mind sharing my 4GU build nothing trick or special it’s pretty simple. It takes a lot to get the aluminum gear plate right.

Sorry about sending pictures of the 3 gear. The 4 gear has a similar setup. I will look for some 4 gear pix. I took the aluminum top plate off that 3 gear T jet and picked up 10 MPH. Don't know what was wrong with the setup but I will not use them any more.

Rick Rick I will run this again, but I need to do some modifications first. I've had some ideas...now it's time to try them out.

Don't know what was wrong with the setup but I will not use them any more. I personally don't think the aluminum plate is beneficial to the Tjet platform because it is already set up with the all brass cluster assy. All you need is a brass crown and you're good to go with the stock top plate. Now the 3 gear and the 4 gear with their plastic clusters is where it is needed. IMHO. I still havent gotten mine to work yet but I haven't given up yet. I get closer everytime I go back to it. You guys just showed me again that it is the superior setup! So I know that I am the only problem .

OK here it is. Alpink's spectacular Rolls Royce 4 Gear Unlimited crash. I have also posted it on page 8 where the race actually took place. The car was not damaged other than a wing was broken off the hood ornament. No explanation for what happened. A lot of arching on that left side. Not sure what was going on there. Click on the picture and when it takes you to Flikr, enlarge the screen with the arrows for a better view. I am an amature video editor and my software decided to update so I almost had to learn everything all over again. I will see if I can get a few more posted but they are nothing compared to this one. This is hands down the best HO drag crash video I've ever seen!

Awesome crash Al 😁 Lucky Sam’s Head was out on you or that could have been ugly😁 and the camera man did his job😁 Lucky everyone walked away. Jeff great job editing !! You timed the sounds effects to the crash perfectly. In real life that’s a ugly sound. Awesome Video !! Going to watch it on something bigger than my phone latter.

Wonder if the arcing could be a fuse? Don't spot any bazookas in the background.
