Given that the 550 Titan is the equivalent of a 540 21 turn (ish), and the stock pinion is 11T, you should have smooth lower-speed torque for days, but your top speed will drop significantly.

what would also help with top speed then? I thought going that way would help with all the weight I added and large 2.2 tires. thx

Since you have the 2 speed, you'll probably have enough top speed in 2nd with that set up. If it's too slow go up to a 10t, but keep an eye on temps, the added weight and taller tires means more stress. You might not be too much slower with the 9t and 27t motor, since you at using larger tires. Box stock it's pretty fast for its intended use, in 2nd. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using Tapatalk |

From what I understand the 9T pinion will give you 18% less top speed then stock 11T. The 27T Trailmaster sport will give you around 20% less top speed with 11T pinion. Both individually will give you more torque & less top speed. Both together would really drop your top speed and increase torque.

ok didn't really want to loose my top speed it's fun In my alley when muddy or after a crazy snowfall to just take a brake from crawling and go bash around. any suggestions for a good set up then with bigger tires and added weight? |

Spend $3.50 buy a 9t pinion and see what the difference actually is. Then decide on maybe changing motors later. IMO, I would keep the stock motor and switch to the HW1080 ESC. But to be honest, more information would help us zero in on exactly what it is you are trying to accomplish.

if you use 2s lipos you can gain more speed after the changes with a change to 3s. In general 27t is slower as 21t, higher turns on brushed motors = less speed more torque. Smaler pinion = less speed more torque. So every time a tradeoff. Why not getting the 21t 550 trailmaster ? edit corrected motor Last edited by magic_yeti; 09-29-2018 at 01:46 PM. |

I run the 27t 550 and 9t pinion on 3s on mine and no shortage of top end for me. Of course, I am content with a 55t on 3s for my SCX10.2.
