Is 80 the biggest spur you can run on the yokomo?

I Ran a 9.5 today.
80 /19 and it ran great. Temp was 120 deg which what I got from the Tekin RSX esc data
Also tried 78/21.
Just wondering what my buddy would run gearing wise for his 8.5t?
And I was just asking about is the biggest spur that would work. That was it..
Thank you

We have a small bullring size track.

30+ race days for me = two front bulkheads (more commonly called the top plate on other cars but Yoke labels it as that) and a rear arm. The cars don't even really slop out that bad - I still have the gull-wing front arms I put on it after it's second race day, original rear hub carriers, etc. and I only race carpet/turf.

When new turf is laid down or old turf is used such that it's orientation to the direction of the cars is changed, speaking from personal experience, that tends to leave the turf lacking forward bite specifically, the same thing this car lacks inherently. The grip on turf, even turf that's been used a while but has had a layout change, isn't immediately the velcro it's critics think it is. With many racers there commenting on how the track felt "weird", especially in the early runs, Yokomo may simply be, surprisingly, caught out by this.

Lee Martin is 5th on qual points right now when he was often labeled as the "favorite" going in so time for some random, generally useless forum speculation:

I was streaming the qualifying rounds last night and I saw all of Martin's rounds as well as Wernimont and what seemed to be the issue in the beginning for the cars was those rubber speed bumps. Lee finally got that section under control with the car but got collected in crashes on two seperate qualifying rounds and that gave him some tough runs. He finally was able to get a clean go at it with whatever changes he made and put down 18 laps in round four. Tebo and Craigg are just in their own world right now for qualifying. They both had crashes in that fourth round and STILL pushed Lee back to 3rd. Tebo was even running 16 second laps. The car looks good and it will be interesting to see what changes were made to deal with the japanese five spice (what the announcers were calling the speedbumps).
