    What gear size?

    I'm thinking about getting a bigger cluth bell or a smaller spur gear to get those rpms down and increase speed some The question is which size I should get. I don't want it to be too fast cause I still want alot of torque. The main reason I want to do this is to try and get the rpms down some. With my tuned pipe it accelerates like crazy and then it just screams. I don't know much about gearing and stuff so I thought that maybe you guys could help me out?
    Thanks in advance!

    The pede comes with a 18t clutchbell stock, so I would go up to a 20t if I wanted more speed without sacrificing too much torque.

    Ok. Thanks for the reply Tazz.
    But which is best to get; clutchbell or spur gear? I've seen that the spur gear is cheaper...

    The spur is cheaper, because it's plastic.
    You can't get any smaller spur gears for the pede, as 66t is as small as traxxas makes them.

    Hmm Tazz... I'm reading here that there actually are smaller spur gears available for the Nitro Stampede. Traxxas part #3164 is a 64 tooth spur gear...
