throw on another cell or 2 in your battery pack, check the specs on the esc to see what it can handle first.

75T is very slow. Try the more normal 55T or even a 45T.

try a cobalt puller if that's in your budget.

| Looks like three of your main options have been said: (1) Change your gearing. Either drop some teeth on your spur gear or add more teeth to you pinion. Just remember that dropping three teeth on your spur is about the same as adding one to your pinion. (2) Volt up. Adding more voltage/batteries will increase the amount power delivered to you motor. But like what was said, make sure you ESC can handle more cells. (3) Get a different motor. The lower the number of turns in a motor, the faster that motor will spin. Increasing wheel speed. |

Stock pinion is a 14T. Depending on your motor you might go as high as 19T. But I'd suggest a 16T to try out and see how you like it. Then consider more voltage, or a different battery. I am running a 19T with a 3S lipo and a 35T motor ... it's too fast but entertaining in the sand. |
