I've got a Tekin RS in it so I can go down to a 8.5 turn but that seems like it would feel more powerful in the 2WD than the 6.5 in my 4WD. I'm thinking maybe a 9.5 or 10.5 and play with pinions and ESC settings to get them close.

Any thoughts or advice though?
On carpet my b5m with a 9.5 feels like a dog compared to my 44.3 with a 7.5. And, given the traction, the 2wd comes off quite hot. If I were running carpet frequently i'd probably put a 7.5 in my 2wd (somewhat for speed reasons and somewhat for heat) and a 6.5 in the 4wd. Track is maybe 100x50ish
