RE: gearing problem..., or not?
The stock gearing is 70/22. Currently, I am using that set-up and I switch ESC to a Duratrax Intellispeed 12t. Going to switch again to an LRP Quantum Super Reverse 2. The gearing still leaves the spur gear in that same vulnerable place. [&o] I haven't had a problem with the spur gear yet, so.... no complaints.
