So with these motors, they like to be geared taller, or they like a bigger spur gear (I read both in the past 2 pages)?

Well if I were to use an 8.5 (I use trinity based motor in my T4 for the past few years), I normally gear it at 84/24 (with I believe stock timing on the motor, and a GTB that I have had forever if you can believe that). So if I were to get a 8.5, would I still be in the proper gearing range?

I might not get an 8.5, but rather a 7.5 and a 17.5 at some point, but I mainly want to figure out where the power band is based on my current set up (well on a T4 anyways, as I can figure out everything else for my other cars based on that information). But in any case from what I have read they like to run a little cooler, and have more then enough low end for short run ups to jumps, and I might have to give these a try later on.


Also what other information is there about the ESC? I went on the site, but there was only information that was no different then a magazine ad.
