|  Upgrading to HH crawlmaster pro 540!
Hello everyone I have pretty much decided to upgrade to a HH crawlmaster pro 540 16t. Right now I have a tekin 35t heavy duty motor, and a HH TorqueMaster BR-XL esc, castle BEC too. I have searched around looking for the best gearing for the crawlmaster and found that it's 15/16 with 32p is this correct? This gearing thing is kinda confusing lol. Also will I need to upgrade the transmission gears with this setup? If so are there any packages of these that I can buy all together at once?

I can't speak for the gear ratios, but as far as the trans internals, I'd personally got with the one-piece steel outdrive and the steel idler from Robinson. Are you planning on running 2s or 3?

56/12 or slower is a better option.

The reason I had 16t pinion on there is because on the website it states "IMPORTANT!! For use in the Axial Wrath on 3s lipo (11.1v) you must use a 16t pinion to avoid overheating the motor!! "

So 56/12 is the best one for this?

16t pinion with stock spur. If you switch to 32p your pinion choice is not longer the same.

I run the CM Pro 16T with 56/12 32P gears in my 8.5 lb Wraith on 3S and it works great. Excellent low end with lots of punch if you need it. Can't go wrong with that combination, IMO.
