I use a 69 spur (Kimbrough brand based on Captain's recommendation) and a 34 pinion with my 17.5 blinky. If you go the Kimbrough route make sure to pick up some Team Associted pads. The stock ones won't work with it.

Im running 72/30 and seems to be fast enough for me at the moment. After a 6 min run my motor barely temps at 100 degrees. Im sure I can go to a 33 but my car just feels amazing right now.

Ran my rb6 for the first time in the third qualifier and finished 3rd in the A. As of now my b4.1 is faster, but they drive completely different.

All I can say is that Exotek ROCKS.
I placed My order of the options for My RB6 and I couldn't believe in My eyes.
I received them in 6 days in Greece via USPS and I was impressed with the quality.
I am making carbon fiber dive equipmentt for 6 years and I can say that I received a high quality ooptionals.
My only problem id that I can't wait to use the mid motor rear tower.
Coould somebody give Me some details about the difference between rear / mid motor usage becsuse thid is My first time with electric off road?
