I will be running the Tekin Gen2 21.5 motor but no clue as to the gearing I will be using, I am of the understanding I want it to be in the 3.80-4.00 rollout but even this has me lost atm lol but I will get in the game in no time but this little help will be great to get me started.

Thanks

Sean since those motors dont have top end you have to gear them tall. Depending on your track you gear it and temps. You will need to switch to 64 pitch to achive extra different ratios to your liking. Say you start with a 64 pitch 96 tooth count and a 47 tooth pinion that will put you at 4.0. 64spur divided by 47 pinion times 2.0 tc6 diff ratio = 4.085 you can play with the endbell timing and try lower or taller gearing. 21.5 or 25.5??
