My 3-DUB gets going with a NASCAR ribbed tire changing glove and anything else I have gets a Miller R/C belt-drive w/24 volt Sullivan Megatron. I've been slapped by an out of time DA 100 when I had the glove on and while it got me good, the glove kept the pain from really setting in. Got my attention!!

I use a chicken stick on everything up to 50cc's. My 100 and 150 I use a glove when I can borrow one, or my bare hand.

I hate getting near that bigass prop, but I'm getting more used to it.
