Default What motor or pinion for RTR to slow it down

Good day guys! I have an AX10 RTR all stock out of the box just want to know what's the cheapest way to slow this baby down. What motor (35T,45T,55T????) can I use without changing the stock ESC? Or can I just use a lower pinion gear (like 9 tooth maybe?) I'm on a tight budget right now so your inputs will really be helpful. Thanks in advance :-P

Novak 55t is a great....cheap, motor upgrade. You will not have to change your ESC and it will run you less than $20

Like they said, or if you want a little more wheelspeed go with a 45t. Even a cheap Integy will be a big improvement.

the RTR has a 27t i think? I was runnin 27t in my artr untill my 55t came in. I would definatley get the 55t you wont have any problems crawling with it.

thanks guys I think I'll go with the Novak 55T motor and 14T pinion for crawling and just swap the 27T axial motor w/ 20t pinion for bashing around
