Run my T2 007' today again, with IB4200WC (1 year old) 5cell packs, still the same Nosram TC-Spec ESC and SpeedPassion 3.5R motor. Increae 1T on the pinion (20/112T) and make the final gear ration to 1:9.52, with front spool setting. Change to Tamiya yellow springs all around and use more ackerman angle on steering setup. I also remove most of the additional screws on upper and lower deck and remove all the side posts - to allow the max "flex" on my chassis (out door track).
Performance is good - I like it better than original setup with one-way and front harder / rear softer springs. Car is much faster with this gear ratio and the ESC does not encounter any overheat shutdown ... yet.
It was a very good and enjoyable weekend for RC here in Singapore.
