Thanks for the input! I'm probably going to swap in that 39t idler tonight. I was planning on making this a speed demon but in reality I think if I can hit 50mph I'll be satisfied. I have a 43t spur I might just swap in and maybe a 20t pinion as well. I'm trying to avoid taking my dremel to the CF. =)

I almost picked up a whole set of Vantage CF arms for the Savvy at my LHS... until I saw the price tag of $265

It didn't look like they had holes to mount the sway bars either.

Running a 20t pinion and 43 t spur along with the high speed idler will defintiely stress the motor.

The max you really want to be running is 18/47 and high speed idler... Thats what i was running and it was just perfect. On the edge of being too hot but was absolutely fine. I dont run around a track constantly and i stop every few mins so it has time to cool...

Use the speed calc and gear accordingly

Maybe I should be looking at a 1717?

How much does your Flux weigh Jah? I think my Flux will be a tad lighter with all the CF. I dont have a 47t spur laying around but I'll take your advice and start with the 18t pinion. With the 39t idler and 44t spur, 18t pinion should get me in the 50's which is perfect!
