It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 2WD buggy class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 6T and below near 9.40, 7.5–8.5T near 9.22, 17.5T near 6.48. On the R1B Mark 1's stock 78T spur that is about 22T for 6T and below, 22T for 7.5–8.5T, 31T for 17.5T. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the R1B Mark 1 selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the R1WURKS R1B Mark 1?
The R1B Mark 1 has an internal ratio of 2.6:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 2.6. With the stock 78T spur, a 18T pinion gives an FDR of 11.27 and a 32T gives 6.34.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the R1WURKS R1B Mark 1?
78 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
