I really liked running the 42/12 gears at Rev. That surface can get pretty rough and the under drive gears help keep me from getting out of control as quickly.. especially when i'm running a fire breather OS motor 
I'd also like to point out that the AE angle tapered pistons are not identical to the Kyosho pistons. There are some subtle differences that I think make them a lot better suited for our car.
Have you tried the short link, narrow pivot setup at Rev yet? If not, you should give it a try. Compared to the longer link normal setup, the car rounds through corners a lot smoother and with less twitchy input to the steering wheel.

I have the shocks stood up all the way out at the tops and bottoms front and rear and that really helped as the track is getting rougher every passing week, that took some of the twitchiness out. I think the shock setup on your sheet will be a bit too stiff for Rev at this moment, but I will try all the geometry changes and see where it lands.

How did the underdrive gears work out for ya. I'm struggling to get the rear of my buggy to stay put when coming out of a corner as soon as I get on throttle it wants to slide out on me. I'm running the Richard saxton silverdollar setup. Was wondering if the underdrive could help with my issue

Rev was super blown out, so I am eager to try the underdrive and short link on a "normal" track surface. My shock package was off with the angle drilled pistons. I did not feel like chasing it because they re did the track last week and the surface is good again.

If you take a look at the two pictures of the gear sets side by side, you'll notice that the HTC sun gears are much larger than the LTC gears. The bevel gears are a little different also, to match.
81380 - HTC gear set
81383 - LTC gear set
I'm not a fluid dynamics expert, but the HTC gear set is said to have more optimal fluid shear characteristics over a broad working spectrum.
In practice, the HTC gear set can handle more load without diffing out as much or breaking down the fluid as fast. I find it accelerates better in high traction conditions. They're supposed to be more consistent over longer mains, but I can't decide if I've seen that... you get in the zone and if things are changing only gradually, you sort of adapt. And the track gradually changes too so lap times don't tell you that much either.
When I run the LTC gear set, I run 2k-3k thicker fluid which gives it a similar feel in low load situations (like cornering). But under high loads (acceleration or over rough bumps) it diffs out more, which makes it more forgiving.
In terms of maintenance, I find I have to refill my LTC gears more often. The HTC ones seems to hang on longer.

So I'm assuming the LTC gear set is more for low traction conditions?

The truggy shafts give better feel, better pack, and reduce the chance of bending a shaft.
