how do you find the best gearing for a certain track? The pic that I post about 4 post above is the size of my track, as it does change from month to month. I do not know the exact length of the back straight away, but if I had to guess I would say about 30-40ft. I would be using the stock 1.0m 2 speed setup not the optional one. I am trying to figure out which gears would be the best to get.....


p.s. when you setup the car, I would guess that it is best to tune the engine for the track then ajust the clutch per track conditions;finally choose the gearing...

oh yeah do you guys put bearings to replace the plastic bearings for the stearing? I already had the bearing kit that hpi sells but what about other other spots for steering..

let me know what you all think

Thanks J.
