I'm running a Novak Ballistic 4.5 with a mmp in mine on 2s, 16 tooth pinion works great. (550 size motor, 5mm shaft and considered a 1/10 motor)

Alot of the Slash 4x4 and Ofna guys are running the 550 size motors, this seems to be the trend of the future as Tekin will be releasing a SC specific 550 motor soon.

I wanted to try a Castle 2650 on 2s but the gear calculator said i would need a very large pinion just to get in the mid 30 mph range with the 52 spur. I would like to hear from anyone else who has tried this set-up.

4s on a 2200 Castle was perfect, but the club I'm running with now only wants to run 2s...grrrrrrr
