Re: Sprockets & chains

yeah I would reccoment a steel sprocket instead of an aluminium one. They last much longer. And about the size of it, go for the stock size, 525 I believe ? strong and good enough...

Re: Sprockets & chains

if you got a good deal on 530 it should work like anything else but it will be heavier and stronger than you would actually need

Re: Sprockets & chains

I would go with a 530 setup if you are going to be purchasing both sprockets and a chain anyways. The tensil strength on a 530 is much more than that of a 520. I don't know about you, but I don't want to break a chain mid wheelie.

As for the material, wheelies put a good amount of extra torque on the sprocket. A steel sprocket will last much longer. I run Geared Steel sprockets on my F4i.

If you are a noob you are going to hate stunting on that much gearing right away because it will make it twitchy as hell . If you experienced then disregard what i said.
