Is the Spur and Motor easy to remove? I'd like to try and get two classes out of the car. I'm done having a car for each class.
The 4x is the easiest to change out spur and/or pinion of any 4WD sedan I've owned - there is no top deck unless you add it as an option. Trivial to change gearing.
Serpent sells a complete line of 48P and 64P gears. I run USGT with 48P 69T spur.
A more important point to make...
If you don't pay attention to detail (follow the manual closely), this is not the chassis for you. Similar to the Awesomatix, this is not a beginners build kit.
