It is rather small, and the pinion being of a size that will fit. What size motor are you running, at the moment?

Ideally, you should have a 17.5T if it's brushless (BL) or something like a 27T brushed. Those are smooth, and drift doesn't require tons of RPM, so they are also very easy to modulate, which makes them perfectly suited to drifting. I run the stock spur with a 34T pinion, with a 17.5T BL motor. You would only change gearing, if the present gearing was making the throttle response too quick or too slow.
Currently I have the stock 68t spur with a 22t pinion, but I've bought a 102t spur and a 28t and 29t pinion to try out to see if it makes much difference... But was tempted to try the the white spur in the link I provided previously too.....I have a 13.5 sensored brushless fusion exceed sport combo which I don't intend to change as it was pretty expensive for me being novice boy :-)
