anyone know the ratio for an RC8? Had it written down but can't find it.

For me, I use the following RC8:

Medusa 2000Kv 60mm V2 motor (or the Neu 1512 2.5D 2050Kv motor)
PolyRC 4S 6000mah Battery 25C
Gearing range between 17T - 20T
Temps: 135 - 145ish
Tracks: tight to more free flowing
ESC Settings (Mamba Monster V1)
- Timing Lowest
- Cutoff 13.2V
- Brakes 40%
- Punch Control 20%
- Start Power Low

using anything lower than 10% for punch control would cause more pronounced cogging effect on harder throttle pulls. You have to be really smooth on throttle to do that, or, play with start power I am thinking.

I don't really change gearing between the Neu and the medusa. Both do about the same, Medusa feels like it has more low end, Neu, more top.
