Default What's the largest spur gear that will fit?

I currently have a 56/10 32p gearing in my Wraith, and would like to try a larger spur gear to see if I can get it crawl slower (using a HH trailmaster on 3S, runs great, just want to see how slow I can get it when I'm running it on rocks). What is the largest spur that will fit in the tranny where I can still fit the cover on?

56T is about the largest and still get the cover on. Maybe try a 9T pinion, although I run a 56/11 in my Wraith with a Crawlmaster Pro 16T and it does just fine at low speed. Could be just the difference in motors.

You can get a 58 tooth under the gear cover, but it's a tight fit and may rub the cover if the cover is warped a little. A 60 or higher will require the cover to be removed and then you start hitting the drive shaft yoke. I think Robinson Racing has 9 tooth pinions if you need something lower than 58/10. You can also lower the axle gears with the 43/13 gear set in both axles if needed.

Ditch the cover, 64 fits with the wraith mip output.

That's what I've been trying to tell her, for years!

(Sorry, no technical help)

I ran the Trailmaster on 4s in my wraith. 56/11 and 54/13, and most options between..

I'm still running on in my scx. 56/11 on 4s..
I really enjoy the way the motor's performs. I may be dropping to 56/10 for this season. The more has more then enough torque and great startup. I'm just going to be trying the same as you. A touch smoother for the slow slow crawl.
