It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/8 4WD touring/gt class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 2300–3000 Kv near 8.21. On the SRX8GTe WC's stock 44T spur that is about 18T for 2300–3000 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 SRX8GTe WC selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Serpent SRX8GTe WC?
The SRX8GTe WC has an internal ratio of 3.385:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 3.385. With the stock 44T spur, a 16T pinion gives an FDR of 9.31 and a 23T gives 6.48.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the Serpent SRX8GTe WC?
44 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
