GEARING
Your vehicle has been equipped with the optimal gearing for the stock platform. It offers an
ideal balance between speed, power and efficiency. Should you decide to customize your
vehicle with optional batteries or motors, it may be necessary for you to change the pinion or
spur gear.

Installing a pinion gear with fewer teeth or a spur gear with more teeth will provide greater
torque but will reduce top speed. Likewise, a pinion gear with more teeth or a spur gear with
fewer teeth will reduce torque and increase top speed. Care should be taken when installing
larger pinion gears as this can “overgear” the vehicle, resulting in overheating of the motor
and ESC. When testing different gearing options, pay close attention to the temperature of
the motor and speed control to ensure you are operating within the temperature range of the
components. The motor or ESC should never be so hot that it cannot be touched. If tempera-
tures are too hot, a different gearing combination with a lower pinion gear and/or higher spur
gear is suggested.
