Default 4-TEC C/B gears are they left hand threads?

Any secrets to getting them off easier? See i have the 2.5 and the difference between the 3.3 and 2.5 is the 2.5 has a 20T 2nd and a 16T 1st gear.By changing to the 3.3 set up 15/19 C/B gears it'll have just as much top end speed as the 3.3,the advantage is it doesn't have the power as the 3.3 there for will have a little better traction for take off.The 1st and 2nd spurs are the same as the 3.3.See that i figured it out!The guys at Traxxas said they're exaclty the same gear ratio's.Impossible "i knew" or they would both advertise 70+ even though it's been proven the stock 3.3 tops out at 65 mph even.So the 2.5 with the less teeth c/b gears reads 65+ (i think).Which i beleive it's probably 48+ in reality.Now changing the c/b gears it will in fact do 65 just the same as the 3.3.The 3.3 and the 2.5 spin the same rpms just the 2.5 lacks in hp of course.Thanks
