Gearing really depends on the track and the ESC settings.
If you run without loads of boost and turbo then we normally run a bigger pinion.
a 6.5 using a 21 pinion will give a different feel to 7.5. If i was using 6.5 i would likley go smaller on pinion.
The only way to be sure is to make sure you always have in your box range of pinions and try them for the track and motor you are running.
I normally start on 23 pinion for most models and go from there.

You are under geared Neil - Roger is very close to what it should be or lets say what I run! - LOL
With ALL Orion equipment - 6.5 = 24/25 - 7.5 = 27/28 - 8.5 = 29/30 but with ALL Orion Lipos etc- anything else might be different

It definitely is different, last week i thermalled out, the first time its ever happened to me using the above gearing advice.

I run full LRP equipment and it runs better on lower gearing.

Using an LRP Flow, LRP x20 7.5 and LRP shorties, ive found 22/76 to be an ideal ratio

LRP motors are very powerful, so maybe the orions need gearing up to get more out of them?

Nice install.

You could turn the ESC around and shorten the wires.

Hello guys...

Quick question....the wider the rear of the RB6 is the better can soak up bumps and jumps right? The narrow car is more prone to unsettle in bumps/landings etc...right?

I did look at that but the wires are going the wrong way round between motor and esc and would be twisted (A B C),I know, I'm fussy,

Won't make much difference to that, it's all about how it positions the roll centre. If your sliding the rear around a lot then the wider will be more stable and less likely to bite when it recovers grip though.

Hey Roger...

My problem is not traction at all. Our new carpet layout has a part of the track that I have to work on. It is right after a 180 right turn that I hit some bumps the car gets really upset and as soon as the wheels hit the ground I meet another single jump that send me to a wall ride.

The car is fast there but not safe and I tried to give some more pack in the rear, changed to fewer holes but it was more or less the same. Try some weight in the rear as well but again the difference was minimum.

Maybe the C/C in combo is too narrow and I was thinking if I ake the rear end wider mayber it will help the car calm down faster before hiting the single

Normally run X-gear yellow on the front and with the flal arms X-gear red (kit) on the original inside hole or Losi Pink in an extra drilled hole inside the inside most standard hole at the standard spacing.

In very slippery conditions I might go to X-gear gold / Losi Yellow rear springs respectively, going too soft on the springs actually robs the car of grip as the load is absorbed by the suspension rather than pushing the tires into the surface.
