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 Xr5/Max/Max Pro 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 MCD Racing Xr5/Max/Max Pro?
The Xr5/Max/Max Pro has an internal ratio of 3:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 3. With the stock 60T spur, a 14T pinion gives an FDR of 12.86 and a 24T gives 7.50.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the MCD Racing Xr5/Max/Max Pro?
60 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
