It really depends on what you're looking to do though. if you're looking to extend run time to make a 20 min main, I'd suggest going down to about an 11 or 12T pinion as well as increasing the spur size to get the most run time possible. If you're practicing on a track or have 5-10 min mains (you should get about 15+ min of run time if you're driving hard), then try out around a 15 or 16T pinion. If you're just bashing and enjoy doing some high speed runs, then try out an 18 or 19T. With the 2200 you wont have to worry about heat issues, so go out and enjoy! I hope that helps.
thanks!
i got the mamba today.. it came with an 18pinion.
ill put it in for now but i think ill order a 13 or 14 to try on the track
