Default How to make it faster ?

Hi !

I`ve got EVX ESC and two Titan motors, but the speed isn`t enought for me. Will change pinion gear help to increase speed of my Truck ? And where can I buy pinion gears to Clodbuser ?

Thanks

Yes, a larger pinion gear will make it faster. Stock is 13 teeth.

Go with two 8.4 V batteries and you've got 16.8 V.

You need these motor mounts to fit different pinions.

Just so you know, with the thundertech racing motor mounts you can only go up to a 16 tooth pinion.

How fast are you trying to make this thing go? You know that this is a Crawler site... Most of us are trying to make it go slow with lots of torque.
