More volts! I run a 3c lipo, and step up to a 21/81 from time to time for fun. Of course, thats with a 35t motor. Either way, higher voltage is your friend! People say my truck has excessive wheelspeed running 12/87, but I don't think there's such a thing

A common thing for guys running outrunners is to gear down and volt up. That can benefit the brushed guys as well. IMHO,you don't need to gear down with a 55t,they are slow enough. What cell count you running now? A 55t running stock gearing on 8 cells is a nice set up. Far from having high wheel speed,but it'll perform good. If you want more wheel speed than what that offers,like stated above,volt up.

A 35t on stock gearing and a 3 cell is a very nice set up for wheel speed,but kindly gutless if you ask me....Stalls out to easily.

stick with the 14t pinion ...a novak crawler will give you what you want but no drag brake....you got some small wheels don't expect too much....
