i want more low end grunt from my emaxx. its bone stock and im waiting on my gp3300's i just ordered from ebay. what gearing can i get to achieve more low end power. i dont care at all about top speed. im probably going to turn this thing into a crawler in the future anyway. any help is appreciated!

Change the gearing for more torque & less top speed. Switch to smaller pinion gears and/or a larger spur gear.

For reference, the stock is 18/66.

robinson racing has a 9 tooth pinion and a 76 tooth spur, if im not mistaken, thats the lowest you can go....

Holy cow, that would burn the motors up soo fast! Thats about 32 times the stock gearing, truck would hardly be able to get started moving!

After razer edited it, it now makes more since.

The pre-edited version, providing the maxx had the power to do so, would of put the e-maxx to 800-900MPH providing it had the power - Hence my exclamation.

lol....i wouldnt mind having a 800-900mph maxx :p

i just mentioned that as an example of how low he could go. i dont think it would be THAT slow, the top speed would be about a little less than half that of stock.
