Ultimate UE-G4...

what pinion should i be running for this setup? i have a 2200kv monster mamba motor and esc. I am using a 48t spur, front and rear diffs are essentially the same as buggy diffs.

We need to know what tires you will be running to suggest a pinion. They are buggy diffs! UE just renamed ofna diffs and called them "Super 6 and Super 8"

I have a heavy e-maxx with a CD and less than 30k unloaded quite a bit to the front. Turning the CD so the motor faced forward helped that and made jumping much more manageable. I guess whatever truggies are using in the CD should work. I have never raced.....

The G4 chassis is equally as long as a UE thunder/mono. The motor sits far enough forward that i do not believe that i need to flip the motor around. This chassis is designed for racing!!!!! Cant wait to get it on the track!!

Just throwing it out there as a tuning option. It's behavior in the air is all i was concerned with. I can't wait for you to race it either!! Please report back, and vid is always ice -Harold

Nice setup your putting together there... Hmm... let me get this straight... are you saying your G4 is the same length (wheel base) as a UE thunder Chassis with Mono extension?

[respirologyrc]

Yes it is the same wheelbase length as a ue thunder-mono. I have a full blown ue thunder-momo-vbs and can tell u tjat the G4 is the same length. No need to buy a mono like everyone who owns a egular gmaxx chassis. Not only this but i can run up to a 50t spur. Much better options than being stuck with a 44 spur.

Cool... the extra bit (mono) does help to stabilize the truck though... I notice this when I drove my FLM chassis with a mono against my friend's G4 Chassis...
I found that the G4 was a little tail happy being a shorter wheel base than the FLM/Mono combo... Just a person opinion based on observation ....

Here's a 'side by side':
