What exactly is rollout? I seen it shown in BrianG's calculator ( the ratio for 1:1 rollout), but I never really paid attentioin to that. I just geared it till i was comfortable and liked the heat of the motor


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
