I am getting ready to convert my 8B with worlds towers to electric for the winter. I have a question regarding gearing. I will be running a Orion ESC/ 1750 motor on 4s. What is a good gearing combo to start with on a medium sized indoor track? I currently have the 44T stock gear in my nitro and the conversion kit comes with the 46 and 50 along wth 15 and 16 tooth pinions, I believe. I havn't purchased any more pinions yet. This will be my first run at electric in a long time as well as my first brushless buggy.

Mine must be on a horse drawn carriage. Scheduled delivery isn't until 11/30. 
Could someone recommend which tools I'll need to put this kit together? What are the best brands? Looking to spend $30-$50 for something that will last.

The mip tools are the best hex drivers I have ever used. Mine still look new after months of continuous usage. Ive had others strip quickly, but the mip drivers dont even look used!

You will need to dremel the arm in a couple spots. The mold is being modified to fix the issue but for your arms it is a quick fix. Attached are two pics of a front arm. The silver markings denote where to dremel. You don't have to grind where the shock mounts in the arm, that is only if you want to run inside on the arm.
Yes, the 8.2 towers are shorter than the World's towers. They have the EXACT same geometry, they just don't use the longer shock ends that came with the conversion kit. The World's towers are sold anymore, so the only thing you can get from stores are the 8.2 towers.
i cant seem to get more than 100mmi noticed your ocrc set up had 100.5mm on the front ...what is the maximum droop i could get with dremmeled arms .....just wanting to make sure i have things just right thanks for the help
