Thanks for the info. I was reading that thread earlier. I guess I'll have to powder coat me some pizza trays in green and black! I'll start with the steelies first.
I'd like to get a tuft test done before the snow starts to fly so I have an idea of what to work on over the abismal winter. (besides rebuilding a transmission and two motors).
3.5 weeks until the big baseline test!
I have to fix my VSS gear before then. It reads a bit high. I want that fixed before I start with the dash and the MPGuino install.

Did some "pulse and glide" on the way home last night, with the engine off.
That is crazy how far/long I can go before starting up. I made it almost a mile from 55- 35 mph. Damn near straight and level flight. I have to start practicing these techniques if I'm going to try and make my mileage goals! Practice makes perfect!

Thanks again guys.
