| new gear ratio
well i know people are gonna say use the search function but i already did and the ive been having bad luck with gear ratios. at the moment im runnin a 13t pinion wit a 87 spur and 55t lathe. im not getting the pep i want, it seems like it doesn't have any torque at all. i want to be able to maybe jump some small jumps, but i mostly just want a lot of torque an wheel speed to go in mud an enough umph to really blast over some rocks if i need to.

keep your gearing and add cells to the truck. It will give you more torque, and more speed at the same time. Your runtimes will go down a bit. The 55t on 12 cells is really peppy, yet a charge is still 20mins or more runtime with 3300 cells on a heavy/ big rig. .
