Default Suspension block inserts
Has anyone compared the track width differences with the different suspension insert variations?

I was there a few Fridays in a row then my Tekin let out the magic smoke. Now my real car didn't start this morning. If I can get that all sorted out I'll be there tomorrow

Can someone help me figure out what spur/pinion i need?
Was going to practice on a small track (TQ Racing) and owner recommended "Gearing around 4 with 17.5 motor will be a good start" but i dont see that on the chart?

This is what I run here at Mikes hobbyshop in Texas 96 X 46= 3.965 or 96X 45
is 4.053. The Kimbro spur gears work great in the SpecR R1
