Hey guys, the TC5 is almost ready. This is actually the RC car built for Subaru Rally Team USA Factory driver (and DCshoes co-founder) Ken Block.
I need to gear this thing, he will use it mostly for parking lot fun and to keep it on the shelf at his office.
Setup it's:
-Mamba 5700
-Reedy Lipos 5000mha

I have a 20pinion 87spur but I don't think it will be the right combo.
This car needs to be reliable and fast, so a gearing that takes care of both would be ideal. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot.
I have attached a pic of Ken's real ride.
