He previously had a trinity monster max 13.5 so when I geared it, I matched his gearing. I think the spur is a 76 and the pinion was a 25. I did a full race and motor was 325 degrees F. Yes you read that correctly. Luckily, it somehow still seemed to work fine. So I dropped the pinion tooth to a 21t. After two minutes on the track, it was at 200 degrees F. I have no idea what to do gearing wise. I've been told to make sure no bearings or drivetrain parts are locked up or spinning rough causing extra work. I haven't done that yet but will try to soon. I sure could use some help on ideas/theories and gearing suggestions. Thanks in advance
