Question Super Clod...which pinion for 60t lathe Atlas motors?

I have a choice of 60t or 80t at the moment 70's are all out ...I would like to use my stock Clod pinion if possible so which size of motor should I choose?
It will be mainly a crawler with some bashing ability so a bit of fun wheel speed ... thanks!

I'd go for the 60t too, and get a 9 tooth pinion for crawling and keep the stocker for a bit of light bashing.

Cheers, Paul.

thanks ...does the 9 tooth pinion slow it down? I'm a total newbie on this subject.

Yep, the stock clod pinion is 13 tooth, and a smaller pinion gear slows the final wheelspeed.

Good luck.

Im still running the 13t pinion on mine and the wheel speed is ok, Im also running 70t motors also. You can still walk faster then it goes.......
