Cb

What CB do you guys run. I have a OS .21 and a Spider center diff. What # of teeth should run. I just bash in small areas. like 150ft by 100ft. and I do jumps and ditches.

Thanks.

I'm assuming that you are running a hyper? Either way most buggies run well with a 13t cb.

Depends on your engine characteristics and the type of terrain you race/bash on.

If you have a high-revving engine (poor low-end torque) and/or race on a short tight track the stick with the 13T.

If you have a torquey engine (like an OS 21RG) and/or race on a long, fast track then a 15T or maybe higher would be more appropriate.

Yea, a 13T is the way to go. That combo should give you good torque for the short and twisty track. Most buggies come stock with a 13T, and I wouldn't step up to a 14 unless you decide to run a .25+ engine.

also keep in mind that no CB will work if the clutch shoes don't engage right....

a good aluminum clutch setup with a 13T CB will do the trick....

sorry....just noticed noone had mentioned that

i am running carbons with 1.1 springs. the carbons are ok for me, and the 1.1 springs let the mill rap up a bit befor enguaging. it gives you a bit more take off.
