Slash Tooth Pinion
 
I'm new to rc racing, i have a slash and was wondering weather i sould put in a 22 tooth Pinion gear or a 23 my unkle says a 22 tooth is the best way to go :p but just making shure.

What exactly are you looking to do? why are you looking to change?

On the track I spend most of my time, I've settled on either 19 on pinion or 20 BUT I am running an 83 spur. With some modification, I would like to try a 16 with that 83 and shoot corner to corner but that's for later testing.

Simply moving up on the pinion from stock will get you more top end but even in stock trim, most tracks don't have the space (around here) to top out the truck. I find I am better being slower on the top end, just get there faster, why I've settled with what I am running 20/83

15/86 is what I used in mine with the stock esc/12T.

18/86 with the VXL.

Just depends on batt size? What are you trying to do?-high speed? hole-shots? fast/slow acceleration? It is pretty easy to change spur/pinion gear combos-probably take you 10-15 min for the entire job.

Just to give you an idea: I run 22-86 in my VXL Pede but I am 3s 5250 LiPo powered and it pulls 45mph wheelies

yep. changing different pinion/spur combos is fun though. See what your racing buddies are running. Lots of good combos to fit your needs/wants. Have fun--that's the main thing.

Yes! I ran the stock 7.2V 3000mah nimh battery that came with my truck for a while, and then I upgraded to lipo. It gave a really nice performance boost.:nod:

I race mine in our local club's stock class, so every extra bit of performance does help.;)

i prefer stock because it offers more acceleration and i like that on a track and it also offers a decent speed

it is just a little tiny black machined screw that goes threw the pinion. Take that off and slide the pinion gear off the motors rotor.

Hey snowboard094! don't know if you remember me or not when I needed help with my VXL Pede but I wanted to say Thanks for all your help! It is running strong now and with the 3s5250 it is really cool. Love the fact I cannot peg the throttle w/o popping wheelies! Thanks again!
