Default tekin setups, OFFROAD

hello race fans. thought i'd try this thread idea for TEKIN .rs setups for off road. Post for differant vehicles, tracks, traction etc.
PLEASE POST as much information as you can as to why you like your setup.... ie "2wd buggy/17.5 open/med traction/big jumps/technical layout"
know what i mean?
OK... I NEED a 2wd buggy/17.5 open/ med traction / average jumps. DO NOT need alot of bottom end.... whatcha got?

Wow most 2wd buggies use a much lower motor.

First you will never use the Turbo feature on dirt.
Boost 5443-20000 with a 17.5 I'd say start at 40
Current limiter 0
Test.
You might put boost at a start point in the 3000's.
Never change the 20000 end point.

Lots of setups at Tekins site just not for 17.5

I run 2wd SCT with and 8.5 and never change my RS settings just pinion swapping.
I've run this with 13.5, 10.5, 8.5
Boost 5443-20000 at 30
Current limiter 78

Hey Martin! A 10.5 is a good starting point and then you can gear up or turn up the timing from there. I run that on a low to med traction track that is fairly technical

I usually leave mine at the factory setting and adjust timing in esc and/or pinion for top/bottom end.
It's off road on dirt which is nothing like on road carpet for traction.

you need to see and feel where the car is loose or needs bottom end for making jumps.
Then you can fine tune with endbell if you need too.
