Default spur gear and pinion gear

spur gear, the lesser teeth they are, the more high speed correct? the more teeth has more torque? Pinion gear also plays a big role. more teeth the higher speed and less teeth the more torque? Can someone confirm this, as I am confused. [&:]

Default RE: spur gear and pinion gear

whose motor runs warm after running 20 minutes? I feel like I overgeared my tc4. My motor is pretty hot after 15 minutes of playing.

Default RE: spur gear and pinion gear

Basically the closer you get to 1:1 ratio of pinion and spur, you will get more speed, and less torque. Too much, and you'll just plain burn your motor out with too high of gearing.

Smaller pinion, and larger spur + more torque, less high speed.

There ya go.
