Gear ratio question here.
I run a tight tech track asphalt with rubber CS27-36 tires.
I run a stock motor pushing 36000rpm @7.2V so what would be a good ratio I was trying 7.79 which is to much for it as i started to smoke....I think I running a mod motor before and kept the same pinion when I went back to stock. So any suggestions would be helpfull. I was thinking 6.90-7.20 is this range good for stock motors?
Thanks,

If the motor started to smoke at 7.79 then I would try something around 8.0-8.2. A good starting point on the monster stock on an average size track is 7.0-7.4
