It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/8 4WD buggy class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 1800–2300 kV near 10.06. On the XB8 '23 C-Hub's stock 48T spur that is about 17T for 1800–2300 kV. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the XB8 '23 C-Hub selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the XRAY XB8 '23 C-Hub?
