Glad you got the chassis and we look forward to seeing photos of it!

I think you'll find that most people use the stock 13T pinion, but there may be a few that bump it to 14-15T. 11 or 12T modified motors with stock gearing makes for a really fast truck.

Make sure that you upgrade your 13T pinion to a steel one made by Traxxas or Robinson Racing though. The stock Tamiya ones are famous for wearing down quickly.

Ralf,

Our rules say 17 Turns max. We have one race on a really big track and i use a 19T!!! pinion there. On the smaller tracks I use 15-17. On a lower turn motor you really want the smaller pionions!
