White front Yellow rear is what the avid drivers have been testing

oh ok, I think I am gonna give the buggy a try stock and then work from there.

car feels pretty good with the wolfpack... seems to make the car feel more numb than with the full sized battery? 7.5 and the 25c has a great feel.

I had accounted for that. I run 22/76 on the 22 which gives me an 8.39:1 FDR and the 23/75 in the B4.1 would give me an 8.47:1 FDR. The transmission IDR basically equates to 1t on the spur (2.6 vice 2.43 on the 22). I'm certainly not opposed to giving the 81 a shot (which would bump it up to about 9.15:1 with the same 23t pinion), was just curious if there was a specific reason the 81 seemed to be the popular choice due to motor placement. I typically try to keep the motor forward to decrease polar moment but some vehicles actually like the weight further back.

Still have a few left.

I am using 26/75 with my 8.5. I can pull buggies that have 7.5's in them and it doesn't run out before the end of the straight. Temps are more than fine. I will eventually try the 81 tooth spur but I like where I am at right now.

Same here. 26/76 with an Orion grey can. It's freakishly fast, yet so smooth that it feels slow.

I thank Mr. Deverode for the gearing suggestion. Had it dialed straight out of the box!

The Reedy Sonic I'm running doesnt seem to have near as much torque as I'm use to feeling in other 8.5s. I had to gear down 2t on the pinion from my Tekin 7.5 to get any bottom end out of it (was having a harder time with short run up jumps than the 17.5s ).

Yea I have an 8.5 as well and it doesn't seem to have a bunch of bottom, I ran a dualsky 7.5T on my 22 24/76 and that thing pulls hard and never temps over 150! I am gonna start my buggy off stock and then eventually switch to mod..I may run the 8.5 in favor of the softer bottom..

I am ruuning 24/78 and it feels slow. Boosted 13.5's are running right along with me. I see Cav runs 21/78 with 7.5's so maybe 22-23/78? I have the Orion VST 8.5 with Orion R10 Pro. Any suggestions?

has anybody put the new vts slipper for the sc10 4x4 on there b4.1 yet? i tried it and i like it. i think accelerats faster.

What parts I need for use BB springs.

You guys need to take into consideration why they are running a 78 or 75 or 81 spur. It's not to achieve a gear ratio. It's to adjust the weight bias and make the car handle differently.

I tried 75, 78 and 81. Always went back to 81. It's a prefrence thing. Here's what you need to remember though. If you like the way the car handles with a 75 and want to run the same gearing I run with 81, you have to LOWER your pinion by 2 teeth. 3 teeth on the spur = 1 tooth on pinion. So the difference between 75 and 81 = 6 teeth, or 2 teeth on the pinion.

I ran an LRP X12 8.5T geared at 23/81. So if I wanted to switch to the 78 spur, I would be running 22/78.

Hope this helps!

It's been covered alot. Use the search function...

Hi. I am new to the hobby and been researching and looking at the Factory Team Pro's setup sheets and they have limiters. I tried searching and googling if there is part for this and or how do you set/install the limiters? Also if the setup sheet is saying 1mm. Does that mean 1mm off the gound or? Thanks in advance and sorry for the newbie question.
