what voltage are you gonna be running? That will have alot to do with what gears you run.  |

X2. In my sons Axial ,we were running a 55t for a while. We were running it on a 3 cell lipo(11.1 volts) Stock spur,87 tooth, and a 17t pinion. It was pretty good. Now he's running a 35t hand wound with 87t spur/15t pinion still on a 3 cell. Really seems to work well. either set up would be allot different on say 7-8 NiMH cells. | |

You got the voltage. You may wanna try the stock gearing and see how you like it. I've read that some guys are happy with the stock gearing on high voltage. Everyone has different taste/driving style. If your planning on a front dig set up,wheel speed is what makes a dig work. Somewhere between a 15t and 17t pinion would be my choice.
