I'll calculate it for you if you tell me the tooth count of each gear used. I don't have a manual.

the stock gearing for the prospec is 21/27 for the pinions. 53/59 for the spurs.

48 = rear diff gears & 19 = main rear shaft --- and then you 'll need the mid-shaft gear count and the front diff gear count if you want "over-drive" gearing ratios.

.. so it looks like the MTX-3 has an internal gear ratio of 2.53 ( or 0.396 ) depending how you define ratio - (mainshaft RPM/rear axle RPM)or (rear axle RPM/main shaft RPM)

rear diff : 49
main shaft drive to rear: 18
main shaft drive to front: 19
mid shaft driven: 24
mid shaft drive to oneway: 16
oneway: 32

This is quite messy... I keep only with the basic spur/pinion x 2.53...
and each 2~3mm in tyres equals one spur tooth...
