I'm running 26/78 with my Viper 13.5 set up. It barely gets above room temp.

I have the Orion r10 pro system 13.5. I just put in a 75/28. It seems pretty good. Could probably go up a tooth a 2 if I wanted. I'm just starting out in 2wd buggy, so this seems really good for now.

I easily have room to gear up more. Like I said, it barely gets warm now.

With the larger track that just opened up, I will most likely have to gear up. Maybe even add a little more timing and boost.

Tossing 2 RT5 chassis in the mill. The difference is about 23.2mm. I'll be removing 17 and 15mm to make a +6 and +8. Trying them out Monday.

The new Kohta setup, which is very close to the WC kit setup, was pretty dialed at WCRC last week. I really like it.

We're also putting together an entirely different setup from Kyosho's Derek Furutani right now - just need to finish updating the new editable setup sheet with the WC parts. It uses a +10 extended chassis. Felt really good when I drove Derek's car at the KO race.

getting ready to order a sp2 WC kit on Monday. I have found it for $325 shipped from Amain, thats the cheapest I have seen. Anyone know anywhere cheaper?

Also, is this kit ready to go right out of the box? Any tips/tricks/mods I need to know of for the build? I will be running a Murfdogg 7.5, Murfdogg 65c pack, BFast diff, FTW Katana body, unsure of servo and esc at this time..............thanks guys

You can check SpeedTech as well but $325 shipped sounds good.
