Not sure if you sorted out your gearing DennyP, but I just figured I'd chime in. While not 10.5, on a medium-large outdoor track I would typically run 72T spur with either 28T or 29T pinion with a...

Rear wheels are less of an issue - they're pretty much all the same these days. For front, I've run HB and TLR 4WD (22-4) wheels. I've also ran Yokomo front wheels too, but the offset is a bit...

I have not heard of any other buggy axle that can be used for the D418. There used to be a locking hex that Exotek made, but that's been discontinued. I think for the most part, folks were either...

My guess is that he mentioned offset when you noted that the wheels don't fit the car - might be a misunderstanding there (I'm just speculating - who really knows but that guy?). Just to throw in my...

I've never tried 16t pinion as I run 13.5, but just wondering why you are running a 16T pinion. I'm assuming you're running the 72T spur gear (the one from the kit), which a 72 spur w/ 16 pinion...

If it's a matter of grinding less out of the arm - I'd say switch to the 72T spur gear. Will probably get you better gear ratios anyway when you're running the 17.5.
