Default RE: Changing gear ratios in Caldera 10e?

Changing the gear ratio allows me to modify the speed. If I am stuck with the redcat spur gear 51T and the redcat pinion 13T, I don't have any flexibility. I am really looking to change my gear ratio to increase speed. I can see the difference in pitch and thickness. Just trying to determine my options. Thanks.

I recently installed the traxxas velineon motor in my caldera. The stock setup that traxxas uses appears to be very different with the spur and pinion. Does anyone know if there is a comparable spur gear with the correct pitch that I can put into my caldera so that I can use the traxxas pinion(s) and take full advantage of the velineon motor? Thanks.
I mean there's really not any advantage of using traxxas pinions with the traxxas motor. The Caldera pinion it looks like is either 32p or Mod1 which means the teeth are much thicker than the 48p traxxas gears you would be using.
