anyone got this setup??? and wut tires do you run in the rear?????? is this too low of gear? if so, do 20" rears do aight on tracks?

I ran it at a track, but for just cruisin around, it is WAYYY too low.

i agree, it's way to low for cruising around,,,in the woods it's great, on the track it could be a little too low depending on how long the straights are,,,in loose sand i could take off roosting in 3rd, hehe,,,i have my 15/36 and 20's on now, which is better for how i ride,,,later

I ran stock gearing and 18's last race. I want to drop 2 teeth in the rear and see where I am at. I think even stock gearing with 18's was to low...

ITs way too low. All you will do is spin you tires.

i loved the 14 tooth and 18's on a mx track. i was able to ride a gear higher and use the stock motors torque coming outta turns and on the face of jumps.

I absolutely agree with pappy. With 18inch tires and 14t sprocket it feels great. It pulls like a rocket ship coming out of turns and on straight aways. I love it.

I like the 15t with 18 "

I like the 14t with 20 "

20" s are all right on the track depending on what kind of track, but if itsw very tacky, the shorter ones turn better.


BTW, I got a set of klaws all the way around, and I was worried about the 18" tire on the 9" rim, because my 18x9.5-8 shredders were really rough riding.

But the klaws on stock wheels are GREAT!!! I would recommend those to everyone.

They ride alot nicer than the shredders, and they hook up great. Almost too good.

I have 10 inch rims on my 18's and i scream through turns. Less tire roll. I dont notice much of a rougher ride though from different size rims.

I love the way it pulls with a 14t and 18's, but it is waaay too low for play riding. Even on a track, I found myself hitting 5th where I used to be using 3rd... It pulls real hard though before it tops out at about 50. :D I think that for tracks, 18" rears and stock gearing works well, if not moving down to a 36t in back. I run 16/36 with 18's right now and like it overall, but for the track, stock gearing is best, in my opinion.

THNX A LOT DUDES! I JUST ORDERED A SET OF 18" KLAWS AND A SET OF 19" ITP MX'S FOR THE FRONT......I CANT WAIT TO SEE HOW THEY RIDE!
