ok, so after weeks and months of research and shopping I finally bought this car.

I had already asked some questions about gearing, but is was on 1900kv. After all of my research I chose to go 6s and 1400kv.

So....I have to ask again about gearing. I'm a little nervous not having it geared properly. I work with electric motors and so forth at work and I know that you can over load them if not gear right. I have my nitro gearing down and it all makes sense. I'm applying the same principal on the electric side, but the pinions and spurs are much different in size to the nitro.

So what are you guys, on 6s and 1400, setting up with? I'm looking for nice bark off the corner but also want my temps as low as possible. A baseline set up is really what im after.

I can take it from there and play with it. Ive looked at the losi page for set ups, but for some reason I either don't see them or they wont tell me GEARING, everything else is there, but pinion/spur I guess im missing somewhere.

Buy an XO-1 if you want to go 100 MPH. This vehicle was never designed to do this. You'll get far too much downforce from the rear wing, and that will lift the front taking away your steering. We know this because we put a 21 and 23 pinion on a HPI Vorza on 6s and preceded to destroy it. It was hauling ass, but the front lifted and it did a blowover at a speed that had to be around 100. Having no front wing to keep the front planted will likely result your vehicle's demise if you attempt this.

On the setup sheet when it says "Rear Hub Spacing Back" does that mean the hubs are all the way back or the spacers are in the back and the hubs are forward?

Yes on hub spacing.

Most of the time the hubs are run all the way back. All the spacers in the front.

I've been running a 15t pinion, stock 43t spur in my 8ight-e 3.0 on a large track with the Tekin 1400kv motor and 6s. I believe that is in the ballpark of pretty much what everyone is running when doing a 1400kv/6s combo or a 1900kv/4s combo.

I was told not to use the fluids that come with the kit. I guess they are thicker than what they are labeled as. Not sure if that has been corrected with the recent batch of kits.

What size 4s lipo fits under the stock body? I am running two 2s in a series and it's too tall. What c rating do I need in a 4s?

Salkin

I put 2x2s lipos on the side. Not on top of each other. The 2x2s pack is a little taller than wider.

Like in the picture i attached. In the picture the lipos are stacked perfectly besides each other, but I actually have them a little displaced from each other, one a little further back or forth than the other so that the wiring extrudes from only one side. I don't like to have the wires on the center diff side.

Depending on how you want your wires, you may have to cut a little out of the battery tray sides. But I have arranged it so i don't need to cut.

Many will say you need a high c rating, the truth is you don't. I will be running the ecopower 4100 4s with 35c rating. 12 minute run time and only 54 bucks at amain. 2-2s will fit if you lay them on there sides with the bullets parallel to the chassis. I ran nanotech 5600s with a tq side bullet as the jumper wire.

The diff fluids are great and what we normally use. The shock oil is different than what we package here in the US and so we typically tell people to use our regular packaged shock oils.
