Gearing

[Gso125]

Has anyone played with the gearing yet. The stock set up is the 15t pinion and 68t spur. I was thinking of trying the 12t pinion for rocks just checking if anyone did and if they had any issues like heat.

It shouldn't have a heat issue considering your hearing it slower.

I have an extra 12t laying around I can try as soon as xmas gets here and the wife lets me open my xl. If no one has answered you by then ill do some testing on rocks with it and the other upgrades im going to do.

I swapped to a 12t pinion this weekend, and for what I do it is nicer to drive. I wanted this thing for a winter trail rig so the 12T pinion gives me nicer low end control and it's not quite so fast for the trails, but still plenty of wheelspeed for the deep snow
