SS5800 Motor

With the SS5800 motor start with 2 teeth lower pinion gear
than you would use with a 27 turn “stock” brush-type motor.

SS4300 Motor

With the SS4300 motor start with 3 teeth lower pinion gear
than you would use with a 27 turn “stock” brush-type motor.

Because of the broader
go with a 1 to 3 tooth higher pinion than the above recommendations
for more top speed, but remember that going with 3 or more
teeth higher will produce excessive speed control heating. Be sure
to check the operating temperature of the ESC after making any
gearing adjustments--the Super
comfortably from160ºF-180ºF

If you had a low turn modified brush-type motor in vehicle before
switching to the Super Sport system, and you do not change gearing,
you will be under-geared and the vehicle will be slow at top speed!

You will want the final drive ratio in the vehicle to be:

7.30 : 1 for Touring Cars

9.00 : 1 for Off-Road Buggies

Higher final drive ratios will give longer run time at the expense
speed, while lower ratios
may result in overheating and thermal shut-down.
