Gearing problems with my fury

[Sasquatch86]

Hey,
Im having the toughest time getting the gearing right on my fury. I did have 87/22 on it, but realized that was way off. I switched 15/87 and it doesn't seem to run as good as it could! Thanks everyone

Normally,when you need to drop a pinion size for heat reasons,you just go down in size by one or two teeth. However,by dropping by seven teeth,you've really slowed down the truck. Originally,with the 22/87 gearing,you were sitting at a ratio of 1:4,now you are nearer 1:6. You would have been better to drop at the most down to a 20t pinion,which would have still given you a reasonable turn of speed.
