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 5IVE-TE 3.0 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 TLR 5IVE-TE 3.0?
The 5IVE-TE 3.0 has an internal ratio of 3.583:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 3.583. With the stock 67T spur, a 14T pinion gives an FDR of 17.15 and a 24T gives 10.00.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the TLR 5IVE-TE 3.0?
67 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
