I just ordered the TDR motor mount then saw the 20t pinion I planned using may not work with the mount. So if I am stuck with the 25t pinion that puts me at 60 mph with the big joes that are on it. Do you think this is too much considering the weight of the truck?
DO you plan to run a 63t spur? I am using a 23t pinion right now and looks like I could go down to a 22t, maybe a 21. The 2200 on 6s will be a bit high to gear under 50mph with the 63t spur. You could try to use the 70t spur...

The lst can handle speed well. just make sure you have sway bars.
