Honestly Im not to sure where you would want to start with that. It is quite a bit higher Kv compared to my 4.5T Thunder Power and I am generally geared at a 12-13T. For that I would have to imagine you would want to go even smaller. My best advice would be to pick a different motor. But if you were set on this motor I would start with a 10T and check temps. If it seems slow on top and temps are cool go up one tooth until you feel it is fast enough and temps are in check. Or if it gets to hot go down a tooth.
+1. Trust us on this. Many of us run this exact same setup, and it is unreal good. MonsterSummit TQd at the Midwest over Olson with it--it's a PROVEN combination with the Orion ESC. Please give us your feedback after you try that 5700 Kv, though, as you would have to run a TINY pinion gear to make it work, as it would rev way too high.
Over the past few years, I've run LRP w/ Reedy Sonic 4.0, Orion R10 Pro w/ Reedy Sonic 4.0, Tekin RX8 w/ Tenshock 5200 550 4pole, and now Speed Passion Reventon Pro w/ Speed Passion Blaze 5700. It is my honest opinion that 4pole motors are over rated. Power consumption, heat, etc. comes with those. Also keep in mind that you still need to put the power to the ground, regardless of the motor.
My SP setup has been the smoothest and fastest combo I've run, and that pure honesty (no sponsorship biasness). It is way smoother than running an 1/8 ESC.
I do run it with a fan, and the 5700 I have is one of the first prototypes without the integrated fan (so I have a motor fan as well). I'm in the airport right now and don't remember my exact settings, but I am running boost at I believe a 3* slope to 120,000. I'll look it up when I get back home.

i keep breaking the torque rod ends and its getting old. I have setup every kind of way with no luck . (jumps are big)
im thinking about getting the mip rigid chassis braces but don't want to cause other problems down the road.
somehow i lost a set screw for the factory torque rods. Can i buy them separate and if so provide the part number
i saw these but cant tell if they are the same or not TLR235002

It takes a VERY hard smack, but I have seen it more than a dozen times, under the same circumstances. There was even a thread about this several months ago, and someone explained why it happened (not sure what site, though). Maybe Randy Pike can chime in for an explanation. In fact, we saw this four times yesterday alone! (It was a very tricky jump we had to adapt to.) All of our ESCs are relatively new, or new, so something is certainly going on!

anyone know if that is the right set screw? or do you have to buy all new rods?

I don't know the answer to that, sorry.
Does anyone know if the low friction O-rings for the shocks are sold separately? Or just in the losb2906 kit?

So I've been really spending a ton of time playing around with this setup on this truck. It never hooked up like the other trucks on the track. Always too much push into the turns and oversteer on the way out. I was running bar codes soft.
Today something happened. I layed down the shocks to Front 2-outside and Rear 2-outside. Front camber link 1 and rear at 2-b. Running diffs at 5k, 5k, 5k. 2mm shim for bump steer. Front shocks at 30, rears at 25. New sticky kicked Super Soft Proline IONs.
For the first time the truck was on rails! It finally clicked. As a newbie, the truck is so much easier to drive now! Had a threat day on the tight indoor hard packed track today!
Stoked. Had to share.

What is THE setup that everyone is using as a baseline? Also, anything not included in the kit that I should order? Different springs, pistons, necessary upgrades, etc?

Losi Racer 33 I am interested to try this set-up as the track I run on is high traction clay, soft jumps followed by sharp turns. I am running the current set-up listed, but have been suffering from push into and out of the turns. What springs are you running on your truck?

use SNR carbon tower shock if u stay in US... the tower shock has 2 hole.., one standard hole for standard 12mm shock, and other hole is 9mm higher hole than standard for 16mm TLR 3.0 shock... it seat perfectly...
