It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/8 4WD buggy class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 1800–2300 kV near 10.06. On the Typhon 3S BLX's stock 57T spur that is about 15T for 1800–2300 kV. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the Typhon 3S BLX selected.

How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the ARRMA Typhon 3S BLX?
