Spur/Pinion Questions
Based on the suggestion of some guys 10-20 pages back I am going to go with 69/34 (spur/pinion) in stock class.
Since Kyosho does not seem to make a 69 do you recommend I go Kimbrough or JC Silent Spur Gear? Other then buying Associate slipper pads is there anything else I need?
For a pinion gear... who do you recommend I go with?
Thanks everyone!

gearing in stock is not always the same from motor to motor. I run a Reedy Sonic 17.5, endbell timed to the middle(pretty much MAXED) of the silver motor screw and am running 27/72. Seems to have the best balance of torque/rpm. Its a rocket. Thats in my b4 though but should be the same for the rb6

Just picked one of these kits up for a little change of pace.
The track is indoor - clay - 70x40ft. I plan to run the kit box stock until I get a feel for it, then make adjustments/upgrades as necessary.
Couple of questions:
1. Mid vs. Rear - what are most people going with on this type of surface? I've seen indoor track setups running mid, but most clay tracks running rear. Going to be running Gold Barcodes front/rear as it is the popular choice at the track.
2. Gearing - 13.5 blinky/boosted gearing - Reedy 13.5 - what is a good starting point for both? Looking to pick up a range of pinons. 76T is the stock spur right? I have no problem tuning to temp, just looking for a start.
3. I've read some posts that mention getting the rear aluminum suspension holders, but I've seen narrow and wide .. what is the stock replacement?
Thanks in advance.

I run 69/31 with a Trinity D3.5 with timing maxed and I'm happy with it. But I've also switched to running the Avid Triad spur with Avid top shaft. They make a machined 69T spur as well. My car has never felt better but I'm no expert.
Just experiment with pinion sizes to find the feel you like best. Bigger pinion will give you more top end and will make your motor run a little hotter so be sure to temp it after a few laps.

As far as stock motor gearing. I usually gear 33 or 34/72 using associated or now Avid triad gears. I run full timing on a D3.5.
