Can someone expl;ain for me?

They sell a 10T Or a 8T Witch is better?

and they have a 50T and a 47 T listed..

What performance will these gear options add?

Lower gears = mor torque but less wheel speed

I'm not too sure, to be honest. I followed a wiring suggestion in another RS10 topic. In a nutshell, I combined the yellow wires on the esc, then combined the yellow wires on the motors, then combined both sets of yellow wires together...then did the same for the blue wires. Not sure if it's considered series or parallel.

Do you think it helped?

Yeah, it did help a bit. I had less clod stall after the wiring change than I did before. Unfortunately I only had crappy rocks back then to test it on so I'm not sure what kind of difference it makes on bigger stuff.

New guy here. I've been thinking about getting a RS 10. I have Redcats Aftershock 8E with all hop ups added to it right now. Whats the wiring mod that you guys are talking about? Thanks

Simple - connect the blue and yellow wire of the two motors - connect the same wires on the ESC and then connect the blue motor wires to the blue ESC wires and the same for yellow. There is a thread about this mod., I think.
