i havent tried the monster but i was told to use a 34-36 pinion and a 86 spur. you will get tones of speed. you should ask your club members about tuning your motors. once it is tuned it can be as fast as a 13 turn. sounds wrong i kinda beleive it. you will be the fastest car there.
im planning to get one myself and im a newbie. i got 1st the last 3 races and only raced about 5. im planning to move up to stock.
