I am running 48pitch gears 87t spur and a 21t pinion giving a fdr of 4.143. I am running Jaco blue touring car rubber. This last race I was running the car was just as quick as the rest and the motor temps were normal. I put the fan in and had a hole in the body for air circulation as a precaution. The motor is hid pretty well by the bumper and might not get as much air circulation as it should. I am limited by the motor can hitting the left bulkhead.The smallest pinion I could run is an 18t.(4.833fdr). Gearing taller than this would definitley be possible for a brushless application.
