Default Mad rat set up

Hi dude.

I just got a mad rat for xmas from the missus.

Just wandering, I got a 17t brushed motor and increased the gearing to a 24t pinion gear from the stock 21t. It certainly does shift and gets to top speed very quickly especially now that i haveconverted to lipo.

Now that I seen you running a 27t pinion Am I under geared?



I still got the stock tyres with the ribbed ront tyres and I suffered from serious understeer on the race track ( astro turf ). Obviously my set up isnt quite right yet. What tyres do you suggest on astro turf? I also read that putting weight up front somewhat cures the understeer.

Any guidance/ help would be much appreciated..

Regards

James
