I'm running or soon to be running a 3200Kv/SV2 for drifting. Been collecting everything for a few weeks now and am now needing to get my FDR down. I'm hearing a FDR of 6 is a good spot to be but having trouble finding Spurs other then the 100+ range. If you have ran a 88/55 do you think I will be able to fit a 95/34? Even at that I still need to find some spurs.. Know of any that work or where I can find some?

probably would fit. don't really now - never ran anything with that high of a FDR in the car

where are you looking for spurs? I know kimborough will work, as well as many others...I've use kimborough, xenon, 3racing in mine without any issues

you can find them at towerhobbies, speedtechrc, tq rc racing - pretty much all over

I have a non brushless mount on mine. Using a 96 spur, the smallest pinion I could make mesh is a 39. I have 83/54 on the other car, but it has the brushless mount.

That what I was looking for, spurs from other companies that worked. I didn't know what ones did or didn't and couldn't find any smaller once made by hotbodies.

I ended up ordering an 88T spur (Kmborough) and a 50T-55T pinion. I hope these will give me a good mesh to atleast get started.. FDR will end up at 3.5-3.8 depending what pinion I run, that is if they fit..

Can any one tell me what 64p spur and pinion would fit the Cyclone TC to achieve a FDR of 5.7, and provide some adjustment either way?

i am running a cyclone and thinking of changing the ball diff to gear diff. does anyone know if the newer tcxx is compatible with it. or other brand cars gear diff would be able to fit into the cyclone.

The TCX unit will fit, but it is too narrow. You must shim it out to the bulkheads, but it will work.
