Default slider motor ideal pinion

like the title says, i put a slider motor in my mrc with a 12 tooth pinion and this thing screams to say the least. its like a supercharger. and dont get me wrong, i like the wheel speed but i dont like the battery life. its about 15 mins being light on the throttle, only an occasional stab to get over steep rock.

my question is, should i gear it down or up or something, i know i need new batteries but my run time got cut down by 60%.

i hated my mini slider the shaft was to short and i could only get a press fit pinion to fit and that bastered would slip under any pressure at all!

You could try a losi insane motor. It's between a slider and a stock motor.

i put my pinion on backwards, with the set screw side on the outside if that makes any sense and it has full contact
