Default RE: Radio Shack Dirtbike

Hello,
Just purchased a NIB and a used(excellent shape) Ricky bikes as well as dam machine upgrades(chain conversion,revo shock,etc).I was wondering what your thoughts are on motor/pinion gear upgrades? I plan on running stock radio gear/w 4200 8.4v nimh battery for now but might upgrade in future. I was looking at a Trinity(Komodo 19t double) with a 12t or 13t pinion...any advice would be greatly appreceiated...what are the advantages/disadvantages of a modofified 540 over the stock 550?...Is it worth the effort to swap out?....I'm an old fart and don't plan on doing the whole brushless/li-poly thing...

and oh yeah....Istillspent aLOT less then the new venom when it comes out(if ever lol)...
