that's fine, i know predator and others like 7.425 for a little more preload which these motors like. 7.4-7.425 either way work perfect.

Awesome... I am also thinking of stepping up to the G5X3... over my current 232/236 .595 .601 114..

Just don't know if it will be conducive to my other mod's... ( Stalled A4 Vig 3600)

Your thoughts??

Thanks..

But the difference won't be huge, perhaps 10 rwhp +/-

Go a bit bigger to like MS3 or MS4 if you really want to step up.

adding the extra .025 preload really does make a difference in terms of that annoying tick, but its not really worth the cost if you already have the 7.400 rods.
