Motor Timing - +15 (45 total)
Gear (pinion/spur) -33/72

Gearing makes the buggy FLY. I was trying lower gearing for a high FDR and it moved but not as well as it does now.

Gear 32/70 but will be trying out a 34/70
FDR
Track size Large
battery: 25c Gens ace 4800 saddle
*notes, this is a $90 speed control/motor combo and works really well. I think I can eek out a little more power if I move up to a better 17.5t motor like a D3. Also a better battery may also provide more punch too. However it's been really good and smooth on power where I can focus on driving and running clean lines.
