|  Pinion question
Ok, I have a 55t motor with a 14t pinion running on a 2 cell lipo. If I put a20t pinion on will it increase my wheelspeed enough to make it worth it? Also will I lose to much torque to make it worthwhile? I know you guys have the answer Thanks.

Im running an 18t pinion on the same 2 cell lipo and 55t motor and it seems to have quite a bit of wheel speed but not much torque (at least enough for my liking anyway). I wanna drop down to maybe the 14-16 tooth range

Yeah, a 6 tooth jump is pretty big. You will see a big increase in speed, it will just take you a while to get up to speed because your torque will go right in the crapper. Recommend only going up 2 at a time.

What ESC are you running? You will get more out of a jump to 3S if your ESC can handle it, more wheel speed AND more torque  |
