Sup everyone, finally got my tekin setup, gonna run my rc8 with a 2050kv t8 motor... What gearing do you guys recommend on an average size 1/8th outdoor dirt track? Right now I believe I have 16/50 on right now but would like to know what the best gearing would be for the track and motor/esc combo for the rc8?? Also those with tekin setups what do you have your esc set to as far as timing etc etc..... Thanks

Sorry I don't know the part numbers. As far as I know most of the team guys who are running the suspension upgrade kit have been running these springs. I'm guessing they work well with the new suspension geometry.

Your sexual preference matters nothing to me. Unless you get to close to me. Then we have an issue.

I am. I will post pics as soon as my body comes back from the painter. I finished doing all the hop up parts & shaving this & cutting that...it came out pretty good...it looks like it has massive suspension droop compared to the old version.

I have the chassis and I just don't like how the back sides are cut at an angle. I'm not liking how the battery tray will hang out over the edges in back. I haven't put it on yet.

Are you running full droop?

Yes, full droop but only because I haven't gotten back on the track yet, I'm sure it will change when I do. I didn't notice if the battery box hangs over the side...i will check that out when I get home, thanks!
