we all own 1/8 buggies, and in the summer we run them at our track, and we do gear it down for the races, but it's a different story when the track is closed..
during the winter we all put in diff lockers and go pavement running. most of us are running 43/24-25 and 44-46/24-25 on 6S. we have a HUGE abandoned walmart parkinglot here where we just chase eachother around and do speed runs.
i'm concerned that the lx-1 won't be able to keep up geared 51/25, and it's no fun if you're the slow guy.

thanks for checking into the compatibility, lincpimp. anyone have any other suggestions? i even thought about oversized pinions from SDPI, but i'm not even sure the motor mount has enough space for a 30T which is the next available size from 25 or 26T from them, i think.
