I've been racing on-road for years...but making the switch to stadium truck just because there is a track closer. I'm sure this has been asked a million times..but what gearing should I run for a 13.5 on a pretty big 8th scale hard packed clay track? Thanks for the help.

Newbie going to brushless.....
Finally got around to ordering the Novak 6.5 system for my T4 today!!! Is there anything else that I will need to get the set-up installed and going? What gearing should I go with (just messing around in an open area). When I go to the track (someday I will) it is an 1/8 scale track, so what gearing should I go with??
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Sorry to bother everyone with such a simple question. I need to get another brushed motor for my sons T-4. Just wanted to know what will get as some motors do not fit because of the extra dimple they have on the end.
Thank you in advance for the help.

If you're wanting to get a stock motor (27t) get a Trinity CO27 "Pro Tweaked" motor, or one of the optimized versions from the likes of Murfdogg Motor Works or Banzai. They're really good motors. I went through a couple different motors before I tried the CO27 and it's been just great. I have one that's optimized and one that's straight out of the blister pack, and I definitely notice a lot more "umph" out of the optimized one.

It could, did you shorten the new ant., did you put it in or someone else? if you cut it, that will cause you problems each band has an optimal length that is best changing this is not a good idea, if when soldered in, the solder joint was bad or "cold" it would not make a good contact or a lick of solder could make contact elsewhere on the board itself causing the issue.

Is there any other items I need to get while I am at the lhs for the installation of the brushless system? Will I need any extras (wires, plugs etc)?? Do the motors require any covers (dust shields) or anything? With the Novak 6.5 setup in my T4.....any idea how long I will get from a 3000 ni-mh or a 4600 ni-mh? I am planning to switch to lipos, but not before the upcoming track day. This would be my first track day...if everything comes in and install goes smooth.

Racer x 1... Take Wild Cherrys advice. Go to rc10.com and check out the Team drivers set-up sheets. You will notice they have not been that drastically different in the past 4 years (between drivers that is).
I use Scott Brown's 2004 Cactus setup and I also like Ryan Cavalieri's 2007 Hotrod Hobbies Setup. Ryans setup is almost the same with a softer front end.
Bottom line, get your setup in the ball park then work from there. You will be just fine...the B4 is an excellent buggy.

racer x 1- talking to Frank Root, I ended up with Ryan Maifield's 2007 JConcepts setup. Just go 5 wt lighter in the oil front and rear and green springs in the rear. With Proline wide front tibs and holeshots on the rear, both in M3 compound( and with buggy grip), you should be in the ballpark. And I ran every gear from 78-21 to 81 26 with an LRP 8.5 with a sintered rotor. I had my fastest lap, mid 17's with 81-23, but liked 81-24 the most and think once I adjust my lines a little, should be the hot ticket for gearing. I found gearing taller on the LRP helps the car carry more speed, but means you have to brake more. Gearing lower helped with drag brake, so it made the car a little easier to drive. Play with gearing and don't be afraid to play with the speed control settings either. I didn't really move my setup around a lot, but played with the motor and speed control and slipper the most.

On a side note what does going to the outside hole on the rear hub do on a B4? I have seen people running that at OCRC and just wanted to know?
