Help: Gearing help...

[Andy-R]

Hi all, I just need a point in the right direction for the gearing for my Barbarian

So far I have

AX10 transmission gearing
56t spur
Stock axle ratios 38/13
Proline Destroyer tyres

I going to run a 550 4pole 4000kv motor on 2s

Soooo, what's a good starting point for the pinion???

Thanks

with a 56t spur I would be looking at maybe a 21 or 22t pinion if you can fit it.
I like to run a 50t spur, clears a revo type drive shaft and allows me to gear it for speed if I want or a 18t pinion for general use.

Thanks. I know the stock motor plate is quite limited to how big a pinion you can run, I have got a Supershafty plate on the way tho, if I do struggle with getting a 21/22t on I'll think about running 3s instead
