For 13.5 with a lipo, running no asphalt what would be a good pinion/spur to start with?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61wL2Eq3qUk the layout is diferent now but you can atleast get an idea of how big the track is.

Thanks

I have tried this setup at 3 tracks. Big, little, open, tight, high bite, low bite, oneway, spool. It seems to work well in all carpet conditions.

xtreme.......i'm not sure a spool is the way to go on a tight technical track.....unless braking is needed.

thanx josh. no need to brake at my track. so i will just try the new setup and keep the oneway as it works real good now. thanx again

Cody

are u running foam or rubber
all u have to do to figure out final drive ratio is divide pinion into spur then multiply by internal drive ex 64 p 100 spur \40 pinion= 2.5 x 2.0 internal drive= 5.0
