Gearing for a monster stock on a 100x60 track for these 2 cars.
I am just needing somewhere to start.
12L3-Spur and pinion please.I understand this is a starting point.
Speed Merchant Rev3-Spur and Pinion for stock.

I looked through quite a few pages and didnt find anything.Eyes got tired.lol.

If you guys have any suggestions on the Rev3 as in setups on a large SMOOTH track please email me direct or post here.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

Thanks,
Les
About a 1.8" rollout. Slightly lower (1.75) for very tight tracks with lots of short straights. Slightly taller (1.85) for a more flowing, faster track. The better and smoother you are, the taller you can go.

Just getting spur and pinion choices doesn't work due to different tire diameters.

Here is a rollout chart that I use for 1/12 scale. Each page is for a different spur gear. then lookup your tire diameter in inches. find the rollout you want and then select the pinion. 90% of the time a 100 tooth spur is fine. Once in a while I go to a 96 or so.
