Stock TLT gears are metric 48 pitch, so it's different gearing that what you would pick up at your LHS. You can swith to regular 48 pitch gearing though by using a Kimbrough 48 pitch 93 tooth spur gear. With regular 48 pitch gearing a pinion of around 28 teeth should be close to stock.

For my crawler, when I was using the stock gearing, I ran 15/93 regular 48 pitch gearing. With my Stampede tranny I'm running 15/87 with T-Maxx tires.

Basic gearing should be 12/96 . Then get to 100:1 and work form there.

Don't be scared, low gears work when driven

Most of the reason why there isnt much talk about them is the only gears in the tranny are the spur and pinion (and they arent the normal everyday gears as wookie has already mentioned) the rest of the tranny is a belt. Alot of people (like wookie, me, and I believe DUDE) have switched over to a stampede tranny because first off it provides a lower gearing than stock second it has a lower profile so you can achieve more ground clearence. Also metal gears are available for them and they are easy to install even by people who dont normally do work like that so it make it an ideal canidate for a replacement tranny. BUT WAIT thers more! traxxas has a very user friendly design to the tranny and can sell you every single part inside of it (that includes hop up parts) either from their website ( www.buytraxxas.com ) or over ther phone if your hobby store doesnt already carry the parts.

I just got a Kimbrough 96 tooth 48 pitch spur gear that bolts right up to the Tamiya carrier. The part # is 152, it has ball bearings in it but they pop right out. I think it's for a Stealth.

As far as pinions go....your LHS should be happy to order you a lower toothed gear, or there is always Tower Hobby.

RRP Robinson Racing best gears out there and a selection like no other. heavy duty to light weight racy go fast.

They have 12 tooth pinions and the 96 tooth spure. Just look for 96t spure Ass/HPI.
