I'm putting a DEST210R together for our super stock class. 13.5T motor, blinky mode ESC. What is a good starting point for the pinion gear?

It really depends on the motor, I have been able to gear my D4 Motors a lot higher then my LRP motors. But I think right now for 13.5 I'm running 22/81 and on dirt she comes off at about 155*

Here's a very useful web page:

I'm not sure if this would fit, but if you're using the stock 87T spur, the 26T pinion would be a good start. Otherwise a 81T spur and 24T pinion would work.

No i am not, just tryng some things out, usually run the same tire in super soft, but in the past i have noticed from using sauce "which you have to at local track to get any sort of traction" the tires ended up getting "too" soft if that makes sense... in return almost making drag on the vehicle.. so im trying to sauce up some clays and see how they compare, as of yesterday they seemed to hook up more and more after saucing them, still not there yet but im working on it.

EDIT* has anyone actually found the type "b" chassis to be a little bit stronger?
I came up short of a big tripple at our track and hit nose first and broke the front end of the car, were the front bulk head attached, right where the kick up is.

The type B chassis types are a lot stronger than the originals.

Yes, if you check a few pages back a guy got a ct4.2 /kyosho body to fit with minor mods, even has pictures, i put a t5m body on mine at the track and i could easly see it fitting, but under the same conditions as the above one, with minor modifications, mainly making room for the center brace on rear shock tower.

It looks like the stock body will be in stock again soon at Tower Hobbies. It's currently "Order Pending" so they should be available any day now.
