For the record Team Chand-a-Cola remained polite and consistent throughout, we didn't change tactic at all, rose to 3rd before our laps started missing (PT problem - it was plugged in backwards) so we proved that remaining on track was more important than fast laps. We finished on the same ESC, same Spur and pinion gears, all suspension arms and uprights (one castor block cracked) and original belts/ diffs, though we did have to change all four axles and the front diff out drive cups because wear was affecting the handling badly. We popped the ball joints off just twice in 24 Hours.
I think even a 17.5 would be much much faster than the 20T motor, I've seen some 17.5 races recently and it's amazing just how fast they are!
