Default Stupid Pinion Gear Question

hello,

I am my car sandmaster is currently using original 27T 48P pinion gear.

Is it possible I can put 28T 48P or 29T 48P pinion gears on?

This question has been inside my mind over a year.

I know they look bigger.

so if I put them on I feel I will damage my spur gear.



but why some company sell a whole set of year like from 26T-31T?


THANKS

Different pinions are to set different gear ratios for different situations, i.e. a larger pinion gives more top speed, less torque. To change the pinion, you need to re-set your gear mesh by sliding your motor - for a good idea how to do that, watch this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv3gE3cFJVw
