The RTR comes stock with an 87 teeth spur and 21 pinion. With the stock 87t spur I would go with 18-21 teeth pinion. With an 84 tooth spur 18-22 tooth pinion. Lower teeth pinions gives more punch and less top speed. Higher pinions give more top end, less punch, and the motor will get hotter. On my local track I run a lower pinion if I'm getting good traction. When the track is dry, rock hard and has poor traction, I run a higher pinion.

I have a couple Trinity Duo 10.5 motors I have been using about 9 months now both racing carpet touring cars and dirt offroad (No Ovals). Using Novak GTB SS speed controls and Checkpoint 5400 lipos, I have never come close to lipo voltage cutoff or thermalling. In the touring car with high traction, I ran a 52 -100 (64 pitch) ratio which was the biggest I could get in the car after remachining bulkheads to the max. The temperature for me was about 140 post race. I did not chill the motor or anything extreme like that. Some guys did as they were gearing even higher and/or cranked the timing. Offroad 2wd I ran a 36 - 88 (48 pitch) with no problem. These motors have tons of torque and will handle the biggest pinion your car can likely handle if you need/want to go that fast. A bigger pinion will help with a little with low traction offroad too. Good luck! -Andy vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
