I never bothered, just stuck it in and ran it. If geared correctly the brushes shoulnt burn and will last for some time

Unsure, as I stuck to a 10 double in 2wd and 4wd, but I would recommend starting off on the manufacturers ratio and try it. Trial and error to find the correct ratio but shouldnt be that hard to get the correct one.

I ran 14/84 using a 6 turn in my XX4-WE. I was running on concrete with Road Rage tires. I had a Trinitry 10x2 with a 16/84, but a lot depends on track setup.
