Question Does any one know how to get lower gearing into the nylint!?!?

the gearing is pretty low at stock for the nylints, but theres room for improvement. Also i'd like to know if you could convert it to gear drive?

ideas, anyone!

Converting it to gear drive wouldn't be all that hard but it would break something the second it got bound up. For lower gearing, you could try putting a smaller pully on the motor. Personally, I'd like to put a higher revving motor in it so I could keep the gearing it has, but also get more wheel speed. I don't know anything about RC motors. Do they have high revving ones that would still have good low-end output?

that would be a good reason for lower gearing

a smaller pulley on the motor would be the easiest way to get it lower
