Gearing?
 

Can someone tell me the best pinion and spur gear to get in order to get the most amount of torque possible from a tamiya super stock tz motor?

What Chassis?

If its a TT-01 then leave it stock.
The Stock Gearing is Best for the TZ on a TT-01

Erm, torque is in the motor.

It's about how hard it can pull; soo it will pull any gear setup at the same rate. Torque to the wheels is what you may be thinking, but this is RC Drifting, it really isn't necessary. It doesn't take much for the drift tires to loose grip, and torque is what's doing that.

What you don't want is high RPM transferred through a long-geared gearbox. For drifting you need more control than running the risk of having the wheels going too fast all the time. Run the standard spur gear in a TT01, or if it's any other chassis it's whatever spur you can get with the most teeth. Then you want a slightly higher pinion gear than stock, because otherwise you won't get a speed benefit from that shiney new motor.

thanks a lot for replying, ill be sure to get the most out of my shiny new motor:D:D:D

C.A.R. , how about if you raised the gearing, so that you don't get too much torque at the wheels, and then lowered the throttle rate so that full throttle on the tx (like, on the sticks themselves, but it transmits a lower level) only means about 2/3 throttle on the motor, mayhaps?

The stock gearing works great for your set-up.

You have raised a good point, but there are a lot of problems with a higher gear setting in drifting. For the main part, it actually makes it harder to drift, because you don't have as bigger 'punch' anymore. You have to consider how much power it actually takes to get the wheels spinning too fast. It's not a lot I can tell you, becuase there is nothing to cause friction on say - an ABS tire. Once the wheels are spinning too fast for the surface you actually have less control. The best way to counter-act this is to keep a short gear setting.That way, you can lose traction with ease but you can never overstep the boundry of being in control, and having none at all.
