The funny thing is, a few years ago when I was thinking about doing a BL 1/8... it seemed that the biggest challenge was going to be getting the gearing right. I thought that the typical nitro 13/46 was way too tall... that something like the "slipperential" or a big ass center gear and/or "truck" diffs is what I figured would be needed to make it work right.

I thought that a BL would have to operate at a higher rpm than a nitro motor...

Now I sit here with a buggy... not geared 10/56 or something... but actually geared taller than a nitro for racing, and way taller than any nitro when I want to have some real fun.
