you suggested stock skinny Aurora wheels and tires on a JLTO. I finally tried it. I also, however, geared it down with a 9 tooth pinion gear. (I finally won an auction for some! :hat: ) It just seems like it'd be impossible to control all that top end on skinny tires. Anyway, I like the results. It's comparable with a fast Tjet. The one I did has some other issues, though... I couldn't get the stock domed brushes to work smoothly and had to change to Thunderbrushes; I cut the pick-up shoe springs too short so I installed replacement Aurora ones and I'm still experimenting with the tension, et cetera et cetera. But I like the way it worked enough to do a few more, probably including a couple with the higher stock JLTO gearing. Here's a couple pics...
