It depends on your motor and the track. A hotter motor (lower turns, higher Kv) takes a smaller pinion; a tight track wants a lower gear than an open one. Start near the middle of the pinions the Vendetta shipped with, run a few minutes, and check motor temperature before going up a tooth. The So Dialed Pinion Recommender gives a starting pinion for your motor where we have class data.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the ARRMA Vendetta?
The Vendetta has an internal ratio of 2.85:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 2.85. With the stock 50T spur, a 11T pinion gives an FDR of 12.95 and a 22T gives 6.48.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the ARRMA Vendetta?
50 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
