I see some cars with huge gears and others with small.
Wow. A 6.5 is quite a hot motor for running in a 1/12th scale car, especially for someone who is new to running 1/12th. In the US, by far the most popular motor choice is 17.5 and even those can be a little much for someone who's brand new to the 1/12th scale arena. It is probably not a good idea to try learning how to drive a 1/12th scale car with the rip of a 6.5 strapped into it.
