As long as I'm reading the gearing chart for the 210 right you want to be around 26-27t
http://www.petitrc.com/setup/durango..._GearChart.pdf
the 7.5t v3.0 motor suggested gearing is 7.5-9.0.
24/25 will be a bit under geared, so I would go a bit taller unless you're planning to boost the life out of it.

Not sure that 27/87 will mesh properly. Bit too tight

No, that should be "fairly" Ok.

If you have any issues with temp, the next best thing is to try a smaller spur, a bigger pinion may well see you running into clearance problems.

sorted.

just ordered the following tyres from mb with medium inserts...
  • ballistic buggy spikes (green) front & rear
  • schumacher block rear

already have...
  • schumacher front cut staggers,
  • schumacher rear mini pins,
  • schumacher rear mini spikes,

hopefully the above will give me an all-round selection to try out. so hopefully by the end of next week will be fully kitted up and i can finally start getting some practice in.

how much longer this year do you anticipate RHR to be open? before it goes indoors.

another questions someone might be able to answer me, i have been to robin hood a few times and the large tent has always been up, is this up all the time? and do i need to fetch a pit table, chair etc?

and can anyone clear this up for other tracks.

The tent you refer to goes up for big meetings only. You will need pit table and chair unless you pit out of your boot.

We usually run on Wednesday nights until the nights get dark early or the weather gets too bad.
It has been known to have the lights on when it does go dark and have a bit of flood lit racing

Yes we really just run as long as the light nights dictate, the last few we'll put the floodlights on so we can run as far into the winter as possible.

The track is open all year for practice sessions though - as long as you arrange them with me first you can come down pretty much anytime

brilliant, wifes just started a new job and on shifts and with me being on emergency call once a week on different days its going to take some planning so i can get on wednesdays, but would appreciate if i could go other nights just to get some practice in with the buggy and get it set up how i like it.

might go back end of the week if thats ok. i will contact you on here first.

Fitted the savox 1258 servo tonight and tidied a few things up, just thought i would post my setup up for scrutineering. never done a racing buggy as my background is touring cars, but fingers crossed got some bits right. oh and as you can tell im a bit ocd with wiring colour coding etc.

i cant take credit for the shell, it came with the buggy











hopefully pinions will arrive tomorrow and my tyres, then i can start breaking it

Looks good, Mick

I can't think of any track that would use that combination of tyres, though. Or are they on just for the sake of it?
The staggers are outdoor (RHR astro for example) and the pins are indoor (York and Worksop).
Some have tried that combo at York, but pins (or spikes) all round work better.

thanks for the positive comments, the tyre combo in the picture is just what came on the buggy, i have just ordered several sets from MB to run at various tracks.

if i come over tomorrow i have some mini spikes to put on the rear until my other sets turn up.

the wiring was a tight fit, dont like the motor connectors, on my past motors they have all be in a line making it easier, but on the SP they are spaced out making it more difficult to wire.

just charging lipos as we speak, i am on emergency call tomorrow night but will still pop over, only live 10 mins down the road.

i might have to take up the offer to borrow a pinion if thats ok.

The wiree to A is a bit long and bend funny... sorry its looking good.

You could do your battery connector at 90° maybe

I like the shell. If it rubs on the fan you can always turn the esc 90° with the wires inwards (require a resolder) and place the fan infront of the esc blowing through it. I did that and it worked really well.

If you're stuck for a pinion and want to pop over, one of us will help you, I know I've got a couple in my toolbox which I'll be happy to let you try, as will some of others.
