Status: offline 		No. As the Tekno kit does nothing to your center diff or spur, you will just need the pinion that matches stock specs. And I would recommend going more around the 2000Kv range, you will still have more torque than you know what to do with!

Status: online 		The 2000 is a truggy motor I believe, not that that's a bad thing, they make even more torque, just saying. 1700 is low for a buggy, use a large pinion (18 to 20 tooth), be aware that some tekno kits require a long shank pinion, I don't know about this specific one.
