No, it basically comes down to metric or imperial. Tamiya is metric, x-ray is imperial. WRC I don't know.

If you can find axle bearing inside metric / outside imperial or vice versa, you can mix and match complete axles, though.

WRC f-one is metrical.
I had to use the Tamiya plastic bushing to fit a Kimborough 48p spur which has a hole for an imperial bearing.
Axle and bearings all are metrical.

Most Imperial pan car axles are 1/4 inch. Most Metric pan car axles are 6mm. Corally for some reason did a 7mm a few years back. I'm not sure about their latest releases.

Sorry, I don't know wether the whole Tamiya axle will fit the wrc. Wrc is my only F1.
I just bought the tamiya optional plastic bushing for a few $ and now I can use any of my 48p spurs.

Gravity Pro Shop Team Gravity Rc | RC Racing

New pre-mount tire option from Gravity. Reasonably priced too!

No details, but they appear to be Shimizu tires, and the wheels look a lot like Exotek wheels.

Someone on Gravity's Facebook page speculated that they are actually Ride tires (maybe the Ride ETS premounts?). That seems like a reasonable guess as I believe the USGT tires (and maybe the other Gravity TC tires) are made by Ride.

I run 64p but honestly don't know how low of an FDR I can get. There are so many spur sizes and combos I haven't tried. I run in the 2.'s, and with 1/12 size spurs and pinions you can get into to the 1.'s. Just depends on what you can fit and of course the track you are running. I normally run any where from a 78-88 spur and any where from a 28 to a mid-hi 30s pinion. One of the real racers can answer more accurately. Especially with the 25.5 motors

Help me here fast guys.

You can get as low of a gear ratio you want with the available 64 pitch spur gear on the market. You just need to use the tamiya adaptor that allows you to use aftermarket gears.
