I'll run on an outdoor track with a Tekin rs-pro/5.5T combo, any input about gearing will be very wellcome
Are you a 64p or 48p guy? The max spur size that will fit is a 112t 64p or an 84t 48 pitch gear. With these sizes, the spur teeth is right next to the chassis. When the car flexes during cornering there is a chance that the teeth may hit. So go a little smaller if you have not purchased spurs yet.
