Spur/Pinion Gear Removal and Replacement
Gear Chart
Your ARRMA kit has one gear ratio and this can be altered by changing the pinion or spur gear in the
transmission. The standard gearing of your kit is designed to give the best compromise between speed and acceleration. Increasing the
top speed will reduce acceleration and vice versa. Too low or high a gear will put strain on the motor/ESC, and potentially damage them.
The numbers shown in chart is the number of times the spur gear is larger than the pinion, or the ‘gear ratio’. Essentially this is number
of rotations the motor/pinion gear has to rotate the larger spur gear once. The lower the ‘gear ratio’ the greater the potential top speed,
the higher the ‘gear ratio’ the greater the potential acceleration.
Upgraded motors/ESCs and non-standard wheels may require different gear ratios. Try to find the best balance between speed/
acceleration and handling/performance. For help selecting the correct gear ratio for your upgrades visit the GO FOR IT forums at
GOFORIT-RC.com.
Once you replaced the pinion or spur gear ensure you have set the gear mesh correctly - see page 13 for details.
