Hello, just learning all the ins and outs of rc's so I can sell them better at my shop. I love the crap out of rc cars and I'm finally in a place in my life to get stuff that I've always wanted. Looking for some help running to simple upgrade problems that I'm having a hard time googling!
So, I've got the 2s typhon (green body) cause I think it's the most beautiful rc buggy design I've ever seen. It's just so damn pretty. However, it wasn't quick enough at the bike jumps for me.
I bought a brushless motor (Arrma BLX 3200kv four pole) and an appropriate esc (blx 100 esc) . Problem was I didn't know motors don't come with pinion gears so I didn't buy one! Didn't find out til I went to put the stock brushed motor pinion gear on the new motor, but the thing was too small to fit the shaft. AND THEN, I went to buy one, saw a suggested 17 tooth pinion gear as a recommendation on another forum, got super excited, bought it, assumed it would fit the shaft (didn't check, just bought it, too excited, like I said), and that one was also too small. Big fail on my part.
These are my questions:
What are the bigger shaft sized pinion gears called so I can purchase the correct one next time?
Is it a 17 tooth pinion gear going to be safe for this motor and a stock typhon 2s body/chassis/diff/drive shaft?
