R.C cult leader Saying:..If I were you i would try using a 6 tooth on the 14 turn and a 29 tooth on the 12 turn.

What the heck?No dont do this.This is WAYYYY off.
DONT DO WHAT HE SAID.VERY BAD INFO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
6 tooth pinion on the 14 turn?lol.wow.Thats undergeared.
and a 29 tooth on a 12 turn?Thats 17 teeth over my man can we say OVERGEARED.Ouch.Please not trying to be mean but if you dont have the right knowledge please dont give advise.This could really mess someone's equipment up.

Racing wise we call it Teeth over the wind.
When someone says gear 6 over the wind that means example:
12 turn motor with 6 over is an 18 pinion
14 turn with 6 over is a 20 tooth Pinion

Under racing conditions we gear trucks 4-7 teeth over the wind on most mods.
If your drag racing and want more speed go as high as 10 over.
Example:
12 turn with 4 over would be a 16 tooth pinion
12 turn with 9 over would be a 21 tooth pinion.
Hope this helps.
