Default spur/pinion gear for mini-t?

Hi, could you explain the different gearing I could use for the mini-t with a brushless motor? Which configurations of spur and pinion gear will give me low end speed and which will give me top end speed? Will lower numbered pinion give me more low end or top speed? Can anyone explain? Thanks

Smaller pinion=more torque. I would run an 11t pinion with the 60t spur and see if you like it. You can mess around with these quite a bit to adjust to your likings. The 60t spur is the only one that has the grooves in it for the slipper (dual slipper) They also have different spurs w/o slipper grooves.

It's called a grub screw, you need a small hex wrench to get it off.

I have a Mini-T pro and ordered up a metal spur gear, the center hole is much bigger that the stock spur gear. Is this new gear designed to be used with an adaptor or are the regular mini-t and pro spur gears different all together?
