I am running the 2.5D on 4s and stock 16/44 gearing. I dremmeled a couple fins off to allow clearance of the chassis brace. I wouldn't want to go lower gearing. after 1/10 scale electric racing we ripped my buggy around a tight track and the torque is great. if anything I'd like to gear up some for the bigger tracks but everyone that has driven it, and I have handed the controller to a lot of drivers now, just love how smooth and easy it is to drive. I changed the difs to 5k all the way and I found it helped bring the back around better for corners. I might thicken the center dif a little more next time but this setup is sure nice to drive. you'll find the RC8 very forgiving. best description I heard was it floats along like a cadillac. easy to correct in the air, even landing a jump on one wheel it seems to come down and be ready for throttle as soon as the wheels touch. I haven't done much to the stock setup at all other than difs.
