Apart from that can you give me an ideal gearing for a stock, im currently going to use a Trinity Monster 27t.
Hope you guys can help it will be the first time i use the barracuda and im am very unfamiliar with its characteristics. Im preety damn sure it will handle diffrently from my Tamiya 414M
Not sure exactly on setup, try a fairly basic setup first, the stock setup has been a good starting point for all tracks with my R2.
Sorex make good tyres but I like to stick to Take Off's CS range, I've seen Sorex go off after one or two runs, Take Off's last a long time if your car is setup well.
Gearing is hard to say without seeing the track, last time I used a stock motor outside it was at around an overall ratio of 7.0 but that was with a Matrix V10R, which is quite a revvy motor like the Monster, but that track was average size with only one straight. On tha same track I gear a 19t Matrix at 6.05 and it flies
