Does that mean that the Cyclone is not suited to running motors below 11T? I have an 11x2T Team Checkpoint. What pinion should I run with the stock 100T spur? Anyone run Checkpoint with the Cyclone?

Thanks!
Why do you want to run such a hot motor?

You would need a 108 tooth spur gear to use a 31 tooth pinion gear, and you don't need to file anything. Your roll-out might be okay for your 11x2.

106/32 or a 106/34 is perfect for a stock or 19T brushed motor.

Take that 100t spur gear you have and go hide it somewhere, it's useless unless you go brushless and run a motor with a low KV.
