thebigwig 2 Posted September 11, 2011 Gents, I have completed restored the Bigwig car. I need your advice. I removed a brand new Tamyia Technigold motor from the Bigwig because I do not want to run this motor. I have purchased a new Tamiya RS540 Sport Tuned Motor to replace the Technigold. My question is: What pinion gear should I use for the sport tuned motor? I research on google and most are pointing to the 18T. But a feel recommends 14T. So which one? Any advice is greatly appreciative. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeetleLover 4 Posted September 11, 2011 I'd go a 16, middle of the road, good torque and acceleration but reasonable top speed also James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thebigwig 2 Posted September 11, 2011 Thanks for the advice! Will try the 16T. How about 17T? I have both 16T and 17T. Many Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeetleLover 4 Posted September 12, 2011 It really is just about trying them out, feeling how hot the battery and motor get after each run... and of course how it runs! going somewhere between the range is a good point to start... James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
