You can't find or don't have something smaller? Cause I have seen 88 and less spurs that would bolt up with two screws. The smaller the spur the bigger the pinion. If there's a will there's a way.

It just doesnt seem like much larger than a 49 will fit on the car. I'll try it in a little bit.

Mmmm nope it's 64 pitch. It's for my 12th scale. But it fit.

72/41. That doesn't make sense?

Let me know what pinion you find to work. I need to run between 3.2-3.4 in about a month.

100/47 was the magic number. Kyosho looks like they have a gear that works. Crc spurs fit I will post part number tomorrow. Also gonna try to stop at a hobby shop to grab some spurs/pinions.

Remember the cars gear ratio is 2 so technically 72/43 puts you in that area. But I'd like to try a little bigger spur gear.

The kimbrough spurs work as well. 100/47 puts you at 4.25? That's geared a little low. I'm going to run a club race tomorrow with 96/48 which puts me at 4.0 with a reedy 17.5. I've been running a d3.5 in my T3 at 4.04 for my track and it was perfect!
