| Spawn gearing help.
I'm in this totally alone, and am starting to get deeper than planned. So I've a spawn. Aluminum panels, alum steering links, alum shocks, battery in front. For slow trailing, creeks, forest etc I bought xl tsl supers swampers on rocksters with 6 oz in front wrap, 4 oz in rear. And a 55t motor, not installed. Still stock. I also bought mudslingers on rocksters no weight and a 27 t motor for mud, gravel, snow. So I see now gears are an issue. With my current set up what gears would be good for each, or could I possibly score a set that could satisfy both motors somewhat until I learn all this. Should be snowing soon so I'll use up the 20t. I read the spawn is different than the wraith and I can't seem to find any newer posts on the spawn. Thanks for any help you can offer. I don't yet understand the gearing on these. I'd like to just get these two ideas in motion and then fine tune it in. Having telescopes I understand one truck won't do it all. Thanks!!!

Are you asking about the Axle gearing? Or the pinion/spur? If your asking about pinion/spur, pinions are cheap buy 6 or so and have fun. If its the axle gears the stock ratio should be fine. |

Stock gearing should be just about fine with the motors you got for the purposes you mentioned on 3s. For 2s you may wanna gear up a bit for speed but that 27T could get hot...

If you want any motor to last I would advise dropping to at least a 11tooth pinion, 10 tooth would be better. You will lose a little speed over stock, but the taller tires will gain some back

Pinion and spur. Maybe axle next i guess. Oh goodness deeper and deeper.. And I bought 2s 25 venom 5000. What do you mean when you say buy 6 and have fun? With the axial motors so cheap I'm not afraid to try stock. But I have seen few trucks with the pinion dropped to 10 or 11 tooth to save motors.Just looking for good start point. Thanks, T.

Keep your gear ratio between 5:1 and 6:1 with a 27t or 35t on 3s and you will be fine...

Will post a pic when I get a chance to learn the process. Forums should offer little space anyways. | |

Most likely the waith is a 48 pitch spur gear and the spawn is a 32 pitch spur gear..48 and 32 are not interchangable.. The spawn i think is a 56t 32p spur gear... 10t to 12t is the sweet spot on 3s. 16 on a 32p will burn up a brushed motor fairly quickly. The 13t to 16t would be for 48p spur gears and would be good on 3s
