Yes please do let us know, I had bad luck with my 5yo sons sct ready set shocks, which I've upgraded. Now he is really wanting a buggy so was thinking the ready set rb6 but absolutely did not want to have to buy another set of big bores right away.

For stock most go to a 69 tooth spur. For my local track 100x50 most end up running in the 33/69 range.

Low temp around 110 and about 25 on endball. I was thinking of trying 30 on pinion.

In my personal experience most 17.5s in 2wd buggy need full timing to come alive. My d3.5 was geared 28/76 with full timing and I was out motoring most people down the straight on a medium sized outdoor track

I ran a 17.5 in my 6. Didn't care for it. Put in an 8.5 with an avid slipper and topshaft, 22/76 gearing, and it seems to have made it more stable. It's almost like this buggy was designed to be easier to drive the faster it goes. I dunno, hard to explain.

That's still very high on gearing for a 17.5, most run 30-33/69.
