Must be the fact that I work as an elec designer that makes me think it would work, after all 12 volt system is the same. That or the fact I've done it quite a few times.
If your elec system is faulty it will have issues but it's not "caused" by the cage system.

Orig question: Hey you always want more right? Seemed like a good excuse.

yeah, I've hit (indicated) well over 100 but by the time you take into account the 10-15% odo error you're at around 100


ok, how about 1/4 mile trap speeds? I'm not the best at it, haven't done it much but I've hit 140
