Back on the subject of the Cheetah, Tuesday Fl_Slotter and I ran the heck out of our new Cheetahs for well over an hour and the only thing we did was lube the bushings and run the rear tires over my home made track section with sanding strips. While holding the rear of the car to control the sanding force it was apparent that at least on these cars the tires/rims were very true. So for now they will keep their very attractive blue streak tires for running at DeBary Glen. We ran them at 12.5v which provides enough power to make them slightly squirrelly and a lot of fun in the corners. The cars could not have been more even as neither of us could gain more than a 6 inch advantage during a run.
