as for the TC4 down to 4.00FDR? we have VTA racers in arizona running them with 3.55 FDR. i think they run like a 55T 64 pitch spur and a pinion near same size. they dremel down some ribs in the pinion area to use bigger pinions.
If they're using a 55T spur it's definitely 48P, and probably a 38T or 39T pinion. I use the same gearing on mine.
