For our 2WD vintage rules in Victoria, Australia:

Motor: 21.5T brushless
FDR min: 6.0:1 --> I run low 6~ usually e.g.: 6.05:1; 29/78 x 2.25:1
Tyres: Rear: any type if pin spike, Front: anything ribbed.

Track where I've done most testing/racing is Knox dirt/clay medium/low grip.

I've been using Shorty 2S Lipo with the forward battery cup in the middle hole position, with the ESC at the back in rear battery cup in the rear hole position.
