It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 4WD touring/gt class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 6T and below near 7.34, 13.5T near 4.51, 17.5T near 4.51, 21.5T and up near 3.65. On the EXECUTE XM1S's stock 96T spur that is about 25T for 6T and below, 40T for 13.5T, 40T for 17.5T, 50T for 21.5T and up. Tight tracks gear down, open tracks gear up. For a starting pinion matched to your motor, use the So Dialed Pinion Recommender with the EXECUTE XM1S selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Xpress EXECUTE XM1S?
The EXECUTE XM1S has an internal ratio of 1.9:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 1.9. With the stock 96T spur, a 20T pinion gives an FDR of 9.12 and a 52T gives 3.51.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the Xpress EXECUTE XM1S?
96 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
