Running the same tires will make the rear spin slower than the front. Indeed very bad for all the diffs. Rear will stop quicker than the front and hammer on your diffs.The Felony uses 53/107 in the rear and 42/100 in the front. The gears in the Diff's are not the same. (GP6 & GP5) How bad is it on the center Diff to run same size tire all the way round? I found a set of 53/100 for $25. So now I think that I need to change the rear gears to GP5. I have tried to speed run it just to see how fast it would go. Going fast is easy but if you hit the brakes, it goes out of control, I think that it's the gearing slowing the rear tires down faster than the front. or the other way round.
Stock it's 16T on a 46T spurThanks so much for the feedback! This is alot of good knowledge and advice. Everything on there is from the 8s Kraton V2. And I'm using the Dx5c...it says it ranges 1/4 mile but I highly doubt it.. And no I'm not doing the speed run ...just wanted something more powerful than the 6s. It's just nice to have more power lol.
And the lowest gear I can get on with the motor slide push all the way is a mod1 30t.
Thanks for the correction.Kraton 8S spur is 47T the old EXB did come with a 39 as an option.

30t center or pinionOn my Felony, I have a HW 4990 1650kv and I run 30T and it Rips.
I decided to change it to HW 1100KV. 50T Spur and 30t pinion. Been bashing and no blown tires yet.Stock Spur Gear is a 46T and I used a 30t pinion for my setup. On 8S you can blow the tires off the rims at will! This is not a good thing. I have been running it on 6S and at 80% Power.
Hey that combo looks familiar.... did you grab that on ebay about a month ago?Gearing Advice needed for 8s 1100kv Spektrum motor. Thx
