8ight T conversion

Is anyone out there running an 8ight T or similar truck with a 9XL/MM combo on 5S lipo? If so, can you let me know what gearing you are running? I put some pretty big tires on my 8ight T for bashing and would like an idea of a good starting point for the gearing. I don't want to fry my MM AGAIN, until I get my Quark back from S&T.

i see your point about the driving.
i'm more about the mechanic aspect then the driving.
i kinda bought the 8-t because mike was building one for himself and he will sell all the needed parts in the store.
on the xray i will try to do as much as possible myself.
dont have a mill tough but i'm sure i can find someone who does have one.


lots of people bend hinge pins on the 8-t.
there are new harder one's from losi but those just snap.
the new one's are grey.
but yeah, better a pin then an arm or something.
