Racers in the 1/24-1/28 2WD touring/gt class run a 6–14 tooth pinion in most setups, usually on a 53T spur for a final drive ratio near 5.30. Hotter motors (lower turns, higher KV) take a smaller pinion; tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the RC28R selected.
The RC28R has an internal ratio of 1:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 1. With the stock 53T spur, a 4T pinion gives an FDR of 13.25 and a 16T gives 3.31.
53 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
Kit shock setup (RCP Smooth Med grip). Part numbers link to AMain.
Out of the box the RC28R runs 30,000 center, 30,000 side tubes (Team Associated oil). That is the kit setup; you will need to adjust it for your track conditions. The RC Setup App can help dial it in.
The kit springs are Blue front, White center. Stiffer springs suit high grip and big jumps; softer springs add grip on slick or bumpy tracks.
