Default gearing?

what would be the best gearing for an rj speed pro stock car......right now my car is running a 12 turn motified brushed motor with a traxxas xl5 esc (its the best motor i have and the only esc i have) and a 8 cell 9.6v nimh battery the gearing i have on it now is i think the spur gear is 81 tooth and i have a 22 tooth pinion on it. i have pinions ranging from 17 to 26 tooth.....it will be brushless and lipo powered soon!

Default RE: gearing?

Tire size also is a big part of it. I always ran around a 2.5 tires on my Bracket cars , With gearing around 21 / 90 and just go from there ! But this should be a good starting point. also depending if the motor is a single , double ,triple turn ECT also matters. I always use the Final drive for a Good referance. the gear I gaver gave you above = a 4.28 . ( 90/21=4.28 ) so anywhere from about a 3.70ish to 4.50ish depending on tire size.
