I have a 15t pinion ready to go on this, as well as the stock 44t spur. Is this going to create too much heat? Should I change my spur down to 14t? Or should I wait and see what happens when I drive it? Any advice on this will be appreciated.
I don't believe you can get a 14t pinion on without changing to the 46t spur or milling the motor mount out some. You can try running it and keep an eye on the temp. As long as it stays under 180 F you are fine. My advice would be to sell the 2250 and get a 1900 though. The 1900 is more power than I can use personally. The 2250 is too much.
