That was my thinking. I'm running a plus 21-5 so there's no shortage of low down torque but I think i'm wasting it on wheelspin. I put the 14t on there so when I can next get racing, we'll see how it goes.

I was so close to get one for mine to had it all lined up with Mark from Massive and everything but at the very last second i got the Ninja only cause i allready got one plus they cleap it was only like 430 more then the GO was going to cost me and parts are about the same price to so i decided to stick to Mugen/Ninja plus Renaud is on fire with this combo he aint even using the MRT

I haven't ran the jammin shocks, but I am using the Kyosho big bores on my mbx-5r and so far love it. What a difference. I am using the kyosho standoff's.

If your running the stock Mugen grey springs that came with the kit, get the Option Parts longer front and rear grey springs. You have won't to use up all the spacers to make up for the short springs with longer R shocks.

+1 for the longer springs. Use half the amount of clips compared to the short springs. You can also run softer for the same ride height as you're not preloading the spring so much.
