[@MRBRUSHLESS]

Awesome video amazing tutorial on changing pinion gears ⚙️ great job thumbs up 👍

Good job on covering this.

I have 19t and 58 gearing with a 71cc motor

[@TurboGaming86]

I have a question was wondering if u can help me out I just bought a 62t spur gear that I’m going to run with the stock 20 pinion and it came with a gear ratio sheet that says 10.20 ratio and says SLUG 18.0 installed backwards I no what the ratio means but don’t understand what the slug part mean do u no by any chance please

[@bigheadrc]

Thanks brother

[@vicgnu4850]

Hey whats the use of the engine tabs bc i have a 1.0 losi is it so that the screws don't break thru or something

[@largescalercnation]

The top plate? It just keeps the engine mesh sturdy with chassis flex. They make aftermarket plates for the 1.0 5T 👍

I need some help from you, I broke my clutch screw and drilled it out, now I’m trying to re assemble my clutch, my pinion gear does not spin very freely when fully torqued, is there supposed to be some resistance? Or just free spinning

[@largescalercnation]

Yes it should spin freely

[@nitrogas5719]

@@largescalercnation hmm, mine doesn’t, it kind of feels like it doesn’t keep spinning when I tighten the screw down

[@largescalercnation]

@@nitrogas5719 when fully tightened it should spin freely. Is the clutch and springs mounted correctly? It would be easier to help it I was able to see it 😕

[@largescalercnation]

Make sure you have the washers under the clutch, spring washers on top and then your bolts. Make sure the clutch shoes (arrows) are facing out towards you and not towards the motor. Align the bell over the clutch and make sure you locktite the clutch screws. I’ll make a video on this once my bartolone clutch carrier comes in. Hope I was able to help you out Brotha 😎👊

great job with the videos 👍🏻

You said this gear gives you more bottom end. What's it do to top end speed?

[@largescalercnation]

The smaller the pinion = more torque/ bottom end but will give less overall speed. Which is good for racing tight tracks. Larger pinion = less bottom end and more top end speed. The size tooth gear depends on your situation 👍

[@stgraves260]

I thought the more teeth the more torque. The less teeth the more top end? 18 Tooth will have more top end. 22-25 tooth will give you more out of the hole bursts.

[@largescalercnation]

No it’s opposite. Think of a mountain bike. The smaller the gear, more torque, less top end speed. Turns faster
