What spur/pinion brand would you guys suggest for stock on my FTTC4? The 48p make way too much noise for me.
BTW, I just ran my FT TC4 at a club race ( first time driving the car) and lucked into third in the A. Up until last week I was a first in the B guy. I practiced some today with the car and it feels and looks so much faster than my XXXS. It got a few people to question if the motor was stock, which it very much is.

Bob is that a 64 or 48 pin to run the 100 spur, I have a 108 spur which I think would use the 64 pin.and that will give me more speed.also shock 
how should I use them, harder the spring the better the tracion. Thanks

I like the new PRS gears or the white KW gears for spurs. I use the Titanium Racing pinion gears.

ThanksIf I understand your shock question right, a harder spring will yeild less traction so you only use a hard spring on tracks that have high traction to begin with. Bottom line is if you need more traction, use a lighter spring. If you have too much traction, use a heavier spring.
Keep in mind you should try to balance spring and oil. You don't want a shock with a 10 pound spring and 100 weight oil.

it is 64 pitch...not sure if a 108 fits never tried anything that big.
shocks...everyone has a theory. Basically you need to insure your car has balance. This is done with angles, spring rate, oil and pistons. If you are running on a track that is very tight you will want to have your car react quickly. this can be done by going to a lighter oil or stiffening up the spring one step OR standing the shock up. If your car is going into a turn and the rear inside tire lifts, then stiffen up the front. remember small changes. Big sweeping tracks require stability. That means slower reacting suspension, thicker oil for more dampening. I know theres a few sites you can go to that will give better explanations.

need a little help
Need a little help.
I noticed that the front right cvd on my FT is very close to the coming out of the outdrive cup.
Do I need to shim the diff to get this to move more into the outdrive cup.
Thanks,
E
