Quantitative data at least serves as a good check against qualitative data. Scouts of all ages are more likely to write glowingly of a veteran powerhouse underperforming as they are likely to be derogatory towards a rookie that may actually serve as a great 2nd pick.
First check for any bind in the transmissions, especially chain. Next, check to see if the motors are O.K. Use code as a last resort. - Paul Copioli [more]
