Education is everything : since someone fitted a 33t pinion with the stock spur gear(43t), so (43 / 33)x 2.71 = 3.53fdr) , and since (43 + 33 = 76) , so (76 - 35 = 41). Theoretically speaking, you should be able to mesh a 41t pinion to the optional 35t spur gear, so (35 / 41)x 2.71 = 2.31fdr..., but I believe with some grinding of the posts I can fit a 43t pinion gear (35 / 43)x 2.71 = 2.20 fdr..... OK !!!!

It seems that the fgx is seriously fast even with low gearing(3.53fdr), and it will get down to 2.37fdr, which can gear a 25.5t easily !!! Good job 3racing !!! Also no car was made to hit walls... The track owners/builders have to do a better job building non destructive tracks...
But like I said before, hasn't stopped me buying and building an FGX. I have mine built and sitting at home already, just finishing the electrics install and shell off. Will try and get some pictures tonight posted up.
And seriously, your comment about the tracks, jee's dude, do you ever think about what you write?

Bit the bullet, bought 4 sets of spurs (with the 35, 39, 41 and 43), 2 of the kit gear sets: shaft gears and spur gear(43), some of the 4mm wide locking wheel adapters, and pinions from 30 to 38. All from RC Mart. The largest 48 pitch pinion I came across when searching was a 47 on the Robinson web site. I should have mine built and painted with the 21.5 just in time for the spurs and pinions to arrive next week. I'm hoping the car makes it by Friday, but chances are Monday. Oh well. RC Mart still isn't stocking anything but the cars and the parts that interchange with the FF. It would have been nice to get some extra wings and another body for the FXG.

I don't have the dimensions, but it's big, easily takes my 25mm tall lipo's, with plenty of space around the pack. Will need to put some foam on the battery door to stop the pack moving around, or I'll just tape the pack in (four screws, pop off a few ball joints, and it's easy to take the top deck off).
Only real issue I've had is that I had to space the servo up a little, so the ball joint and horn clear the top of the pack. 1.5mm shims between the servo and posts helped here, and I raised the ball joint on the steering the same amount.
