Good upgrades! What were the gains?

Only completed one quick test run so far on the 15T pinion, and the GPS read 24mph, which is a decent bump. It was only a light gravel car park so hard to tell what the shorter shocks have added but cornering under braking was tighter. Haven't given it a good off-road test yet, or tried the 17T pinion!

Great buggies, I am pretty happy with anything that can go 17mph but I mostly run scale trucks so my stock Bigwig is the fastest car I own lol!
