Default Recommended pinion size for HB E8 and E8T

I'm using the HW 1900kv in the E buggy and 2200 in the E Truggy. Can anyone give me some idea of pinion gear to start with on either model please?

I run 16t on my E8, I don't have an E8T but I'd start on a 15t if I did.

I run 16T with a 2250KV in my E8T and 15T with a 2500KV in my E8



1900KV would only be suitable for a small track, if you have straight that is longer than 75' then the smallest KV I would recommend is 2200KV for the E8



The current layout I am running 90% EPA on my throttle, it's much easier to dial back the EPA on the throttle and always have a little extra punch available if you need it when a layout demands more power

The higher KV motors also tend to spin up slower which offers a little more control on corner exit.
