Well, I know that if you go 8 spyders, they will gear you down, so in pinion you need to go up. But to hit 40+ a Neu 1515 2.5 will get you there depending on your batts. Also, you can go with Hot Bodies diff which Squee will definately suggest, and they can fit into the combo bulks which Mike sells. The hot bodies are the closest that I know of that will get you to stock gearing.
I can tell you that the spyders are WORTH every penny. You may never have to change them again! I have never had to anyway! I have taken my maxx and had it at full throttle and dropped it on the ground(thank god for warranty) and it kept on going. It does give more torque as the gearing is lower, but to gain the speed, you just adjust the pinion to get that back. It is an 1/8th gearing so it is lower and gives more torque. But trust me when i say that it's worth every penny! It is! You can do this two ways, get the gears with cases from UE or Mike(preferred), or get the diffs(cheaper) then buy the FLM Hybrids to fit(MIke). In any case, go thru Mike with any of these choices, it's all personal IMO. Hot bodies, or UE's, take your pick, they are both good. As far as motors, if your going Quark, and have the money, get the Neu to go with it, otherwise you are going to have to heat sink the crap out of it! IMO, I had to! But this is just me, some guys here may disagree!
Otherwise, motors, you can go feigo xl would be a good to, save money, which I'm finding, not always been the best option. Some others will definately chime in on this and I expect that this will be a good thread!
