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 Formula R.1 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 MWX Performance Formula R.1?
The Formula R.1 has an internal ratio of 1:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 1. With the stock 53T spur, a 6T pinion gives an FDR of 8.83 and a 14T gives 3.79.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the MWX Performance Formula R.1?
53 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
