|  Gear Ratio Overkill?
I am curious if this gearing combination will be overkill for a scale truck. I know that it says it in the chart . But will it be so slow it wont be fun, or will it be so tourqe(y) that it will just hop up everything. Im curious to see what everyone is running for the setup that is a happy medium for speed and crawling. More interested in better crawling. The setup im thinking about running is 96 tooth spur gear with a 10 tooth pinion. This is the gear ratio diagram in the owners manual.  The parts I'm interested in are both 48 pitch. This is the spur gear im looking at http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/693142.asp  This is the pinon http://www.rc4wdstore.com/2/product_...roducts_id=197  |

yea thats gonna be really slow and boring to drive but you would have tons of low speed control and torque.

14 and 87 are the stock numbers, which looks like 47.8 ratio in the stock kit. so depending on what motor you are running (if it's a 15t you will still have decent speed for a crawler) you may want to move up or down. i wouldn't go quite so drastic with your ratio, you are lookin at really slow and strong. would give you great slow speed control when climbing, but to GET to the climb would take forever. why don't you just try the new spur with the stock pinion and see how you like that?

alright looks like I might just keep everything stock until I get the novak crawler/55t.

i run a 30t handwound with those tires and a 16t pinion. its just the right balance of wheelspeed and low speed control for me. best thing to do is experiment to find out what you like best | |
