Does anyone know a good final drive ratio for the 210 with a 6.5T?
If I geared the car 81S/26P that would give the car an 8.06 FDR per the 2.6:1 transmission. I am not familiar with a good FDR for off road; Any help would be greatly appreciated! Oh and btw I am assuming the car comes with an 87T spur stock based on what I've read here. Is this correct? Thanks guys

This is a few days late, but you should have no problem getting more ride height than that with the kit springs. I measure my ride height right under the trans and basically right under the servo and have mine set at 24mm with the stock springs.... and yes the adjusters in the rear are pretty near maxed out, but there is still some adjustment left in them. Make sure your shocks arent binding, with no oil in them, they should feel pretty smooth with very little drag on them. Also make sure your suspension is free with no binding when the shocks are off the car...the rear hubs are a tight fit, if you just shove all the shims in it will probably bind up. I had to run a file slightly on my hubs to free it up before final assembly because it was pretty tight and wouldnt allow the suspension to move freely on its own.
Cheers for the tip..

Couple of questions for you guys.
I just ordered a DEX210 to get back into 2wd buggy for the winter months. I am planning on running the new Viper system with an 8.5. What would be a good starting point as far as gearing?
Also, I am going to be running full size lipo packs, so what is a good starting shock setup for the car while keeping that in mind? Are there any popular spots where people are adding weight to the buggy? I will mostly be running on a medium traction indoor track with rather large jumps.
Thanks in advance!

21-23t is a good starting point with the 8.5 i'm currently running the 22t.

If your budget allows I would really consider some shorty packs. The ability to move the weight around in the chassis is a major plus, and honestly made a huge improvement in how the car feels/drives. With a full size pack there was so much weight in the back that the car always felt too locked down in the rear, causing a push on corner entry. The shorty allowed made the car steer in much better while still having enough rear traction to confidently drive through the corner.

Can you tell me who makes those offset turnbuckles in the pic?
