What motor does that it have on the video?
Another off topic question (forgive me theese plz ): how should I calculate those gear ratios, when for an engine is reccomended 1:9.0 for a buggy....
Cheers. Not sure on the motor, probably a 6.5/8.5?

To calculate the gear ratio you do:
final drive ratio = (spur/pinion) x internal drive ratio

The gear ratio you use depends on both the motor (make and turns) and the track you will be racing on. If you use a Losi Xcelorin then an 8.5 will be would for a FDR of 9.0. If you use a faster motor you will need and smaller pinion and for a slower motor you could increase the pinion.
