isn't it the other way around? A bigger pinion spins more teeth for the same revolution so will spin up to a higher speed but have less torque and a smaller pinion will turn fewer teeth for the same revolution so will have more torque and less top speed.
Think of a bicycle: the front cogs are the drive side, the bigger the cogs the faster the bike but the more difficult it is to turn but the higher speed you can reach.
big pinion = faster
smaller pinion = more torque
smaller spur = faster
bigger spur = more torque
That's how I had it anyway
