Default opinions on using 64p for b4 buggy ???

I have a TON of super nice 64p stuff from my onroad days and virtually no 48p stuff. NO lhs in my area has any decient 48p pinions.
How do you think they would fare (64p) in 13.5 b4 2wd? Any opinions would be great, thanks.

I wouldn't, even the finest grit will kill 64p spurs and not sure that 64p will hold up to the abuse of off-road. No matter how careful you are with the throttle. You can try it though. If you go 48p get the hard ano. aluminum pinions from Robinson they're a nice piece and lighter than steel.

The main problem is what are you doing for a spur?
The only spur gears available for the stock B4 slipper clutch are 48P.

If you want to use the slipper you'll have to use 48p. You could run a 64p spur but you'll have to get an adapter wich eliminates the slipper. SpeedtechRC sell one if you really want to try this. To race at Coral Springs (I saw you posted there too) You'll need 1 pinion a 31 tooth, I'm sure that's cheaper than ordering an adaptor from California.
