It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 4WD touring/gt class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 6T and below near 7.34, 13.5T near 4.51, 17.5T near 4.51, 21.5T and up near 3.65. On the ADVANCE 21M's stock 114T spur that is about 30T for 6T and below, 48T for 13.5T, 48T for 17.5T, 59T for 21.5T and up. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the ADVANCE 21M selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the 3Racing ADVANCE 21M?
The ADVANCE 21M has an internal ratio of 1.9:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 1.9. With the stock 114T spur, a 20T pinion gives an FDR of 10.83 and a 52T gives 4.17.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the 3Racing ADVANCE 21M?
114 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
