This is on a truggy running 40 series bowties.

I have a 62t spur, i run a medium size track, a straight about 35 yds. Which size cb do you reccomend? And which brand? Right now i have like 2 14t mugens.

Well since your running a MSR I would stick to a moogen bc, just to be sure you get the best mesh. What mill are you running? If you have a mill that likes to rev I would to with a 13, but if you have a stump puller I would go with a 14. I ran both 13 and 14 in my LSP and I've gone back to the 13 because I don't have the best mill I don't want to over stress it. If your getting one of those Nova's I would go with a 14 and maybe even a 15. Those are just nuts!

after re-reading your post you only have a 100ish ft straight I would use a 13 or 12, just so you get max power and power band out of your mill.

I run 12/62 on a mutant maxx truggy and a fantom .27......it revs high and pulls hard so every now and then I swap to a 13 for tracks w/ long straights.....I want to get a 65t on and try a 14t...here's a primary drive ratio selection to give you an idea of what the differences are

...................62 Spur................65 Spur
12CB.........5.166666667.........5.416666667
13CB.........4.769230769.........5
14CB.........4.428571429.........4.642857143
15CB.........4.133333333.........4.333333333
16CB.........3.875...................4.0625
17CB.........3.647058824.........3.823529412
18CB.........3.444444444.........3.611111111

run a 13 or 14. a 12 is too small for that mill in that truck and it will either wheelie or be uncontrollable on the bottom end.
