501X Tekin 6.5 gearing question.

[TonyV2382]

Whats the right gearing for the tekin 6.5 on the 501x?

What is the size of your track?

I race indoor (70' x 40') with a (currently) Trinity Duo 8.5 with 87/18 gearing (9.9 FDR).

its the stock spur and pulleys from the worlds edition. I believe 18t pulleys, 91t spur.

A starting point on a 6.5 on a 4WD buggy would be an overall gear ration of about 10.5. Try an 18 or 17 tooth Pinion (10.974 & 10.363 overall ratio respectively) as a starting point.

Will do! I think the kit came with a 17t pinion stock, we'll see how it goes. But thanks man!
