4wd Torment to 4wd Ruckus

[Bezbezik'73]

Hi guys.....just a quick one......
Does anybody know what pinion comes with the stock 4wd Ruckus please? I have a Ruckus donor and want to make my Torment a Ruckus for a change. I have the 12 tooth stock pinion but I heard on the grapevine that because of the larger MT wheels it would need to be geared up a tooth or two?

As ever.......I bow down to your superior RCNESS!

Stock brushed Ruckus is a 9t pinion. Bigger tires you gear down not up. But brushed is already geared down to not overheat the motor. If you run it brushed stay with a 9t pinion. If you go brushless you can probably get away with a 12t pinion just depends on the motor size and kv rating how to gear it.

I’d probably stay under 3300kv.
