It depends on your motor and the track. In the 1/10 FWD touring/gt class, racers gear by final drive ratio: 17.5T near 4.51. On the MS1.0 FWD's stock 100T spur that is about 42T 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 MS1.0 FWD selected.
What is the internal ratio (transmission ratio) of the Yokomo MS1.0 FWD?
The MS1.0 FWD has an internal ratio of 1.9:1. Final drive ratio = spur ÷ pinion × 1.9. With the stock 100T spur, a 36T pinion gives an FDR of 5.28 and a 47T gives 4.04.
How many teeth is the stock spur gear on the Yokomo MS1.0 FWD?
100 teeth. Changing the spur moves every pinion's ratio at once; most racers leave the spur and tune with the pinion.
