for rubber tires, seems like you would need a lot of torque to break them free easily. go for like a 19t for mor3e speed, or 27t for more torque. the monster stock is a great motor. but for insane speed/torque from a 27t go for a putnam, or surge tuned motor. THEY ARE GREAT!

for set up, i really dont know, try hard springs all around. since soft in the back usually gives you more grip.

i use my hpi pro 2 with radial tires and a 16T SPEED JEM motor. I have no problem loosing tracking and doing doughnuts while going at a very high speed. to me i think that you should stick with your set up because if you can get your car sideways then thats all it matters-Juhnk
