Default USGT Gearing

Hey fellas,

I could use some suggestions... I've been racing in a spec class locally (27t brushed motor/spec ESC), but it appears we're going to start up a USGT class soon. Since we will be able to run 21.5 motors (in blinky mode), I'm really up in the air with regards to gearing.

I've read that I should be in the 3.4-3.6 range for our relatively large outdoor track. With my 96t spur, that would require a ~55t pinion. Before I buy an assortment of pinions, can anyone tell me if they'll fit with my 96t spur? Or should I use a smaller spur to ensure a good mesh? I'm not sure how much range the stock motor mount has.

Also, I'm running a Thunder Power 21.5 motor. Can anyone recommend a good timing position to start with? I suspect some motors like more timing/less gear and others may like less timimg/more gear. Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
Tommy
