Is there anyway to get a smaller Spur gear on a 3s?

[Robii]

Hi Guys, I’ve been turning my Typhon 3s in to a bit of a speed run car, I’ve got it on 6s doing 65mph but I want to go faster - I’ve got plenty of power so now it’s got to be gearing right?
I can’t get any bigger than my 22 pinion gear in the motor mount so I’m wondering if I can get a smaller Spur instead - any thoughts?

FYI:
22 tooth pinion
Spectrum 150amp ESC
Spectrum 2050kv motor
6s

There's a 27t pinion gear. Watch your temps.

Why can’t you go bigger on pinion? Thought stock mount held a 27?

I tried 26 but that wouldn’t work , maybe I got something wrong - I’ll have another try!

Same as above…. Maybe I did get somthing wrong but I’d still like some Spur options!?

26t should fit. It would be about the max with the stock setup. Like said above they now make a smaller one for the Vandetta.

I’ve got a 25t in my senton with stock blx mount.
Yes you can go smaller spur to compensate for pinion, I am not sure which you’d need, I have not looked into any other spurs for the 3s cars.

Not sure if 50t is direct fit...higher kv will get ya more mph also

Going from 57t to a 50t will only give you 10mph gain..I've ran a 40$ 4068-2650kv on 6s for 78mph before going airborne...

Which motor mount are you using? I use the crcu one now, but i got the the 27t to fit using the standard motor mount.
