Just won a crt.5 with mikes chassis...did I do ok?

O ok gotcha.

I just realized I am going to need to order a pinion before I can run this thing. What do you guys suggest I get for a starting size?

I will be running the stock tires, some 2.2 tires, adaptors with 1/8 buggy tires (pretty lightweight, but tall as well) and lastly some masher 2,000 tires. I am guessing I wont be able to run all of these tires on one pinion, but finding a starting point would be good without just guessing!

Think I should just get one pinion size (I need a reducer too, so its already 17.00 for just one pinion!). How about changing the spur on the diff, is that a pain to do? Again I will be running MM/VXL motor on 3s 5000 packs. I would like 35-40 mph top speed, good run times and hopefully keep the heat down.

I would rather be geared a little low to avoid heat build up/strain on the electronics (ie...heat). so should I go with like a 14tooth to start with? Or even lower?
