You will want more of a 69/32 gearing.

Track conditions will determine actual gearing. For me I have a Tekin RS and Reedy 17.5 geared at this. I need to find more speed to hang with the local stock guys but i'm working that direction.

Gearing is usually around 5.70 in blinky mode.

They moved it to Factory Parts under Parts. Harder to find but it is there.

I think they will bring a Factory Kit sooner or later or why put the "lite" designation with this kit and not just call it a Factory Kit. From a market stand point they add "lite" to get it down to fighting weight for the big stock class or most classes and dirt types with three different batteries and weights that can be used. The Team Kit and RM kits can fade and keep RM conversion for die hards. We are sitting at one kit at that point and then they can roll out a Factory Kit, a little heavier with aluminium bling where "lite" doesn't matter. We have the iPhone and iPhone +.

trying to get some steering going into a high speed sweeper indoor clay med-high grip, no matter what i do it seems to push wide and won't hug the pipe or even stay in the line. i have tapered pistons in the front and rear due to the bumpiness of our track tried adding a little weight under the servo but i can't seem to get it to steer like i want it to. any suggestions?

Usually it's caused by driving into a high speed sweeper way too hard. If your car is great everywhere else especially. The first and usually only I adjustment I make for the scenario is reducing front droop! I've ran as little as 19.5 in the front to 21.0mm.

This is a huge adjustment to the car that a lot of people overlook. Just using 2 limiters all around isn't enough. Measure that droop front and rear!

do you know if that is the biggest pinion you can fit with the 69t spur?

Longer front link, or a front wing.
