Does anyone have a phone number for Chris Hammond?

Right now i have the servos on pull pull. but i have seen two of them done with direct drive.(custom mod). Reason i sued pull pull is that its the way it came, and the only way to put direct drive is to build your own mount in the tail(from what i see it doesnt seem to difficult). Tell him to look at this build thread on how this guy did it.
