My questions are:
1) is there a good set up for my tekin rs(boost turbo) 17.5
2)roll out. I read ppl are using 55t-60t pinions but thats for non boosted classes... Track size is 100x48
3) motor I was going to go back to novak for 17.5 is that a good choice or is there something better.
Sorry for all the noob like questions... I usually do my own research(ie read thread) but the season opener is around the corner and I like to order up everything asap
I don't have exact Tekin settings yet but 50/8 or 45/8 should be ideal for a novak with a bunch of timing already in it. In non-boosted 17.5 people should gear from 95mm to 105mm. Always talk roll out... not just pinion and spur.
Pick up some small spurs - 71 or 72t. Prs has them. Pinion sizes from 46 to 55 and u should be covered.
