Which pinion gear is faster?
A bigger pinion or smaller spur gear makes the vehicle have more top speed, at a decrease in acceleration. It’s most likely that gearing up will make everything run a bit hotter, and shorten run times. A smaller pinion or larger spur gear has the opposite effect.
What is the best gear ratio for RC drag racing?
76/22
The Drag Slash’s standard 76/22 gearing is perfect for all-around driving fun.
How do I know what size spur gear I need?

| To Find | Equation |
|---|---|
| Outside Diameter | DO = D + 2a |
| Pitch Diameter | D = N / P D = (N p ) / π |
| Root Diameter | DR = D – 2b |
| Whole Depth | a + b |
What does pitch mean in RC?
Pitch is the literal pitch of each tooth in relation to the other. Tha main idea is that you match the pitch between the spur and pinion, if you have a 48 pitch spur, buy 48 pitch pinions, or if you have a 64 pitch spur, then get 64 pitch pinions.
What does more teeth on a spur gear do?
The closer the pinion gear & spur gear are in tooth count, the higher the speed. The further away they get in tooth count, the higher the torque output. Thinking about it this way, it doesn’t matter which gear you change – it’s applicable to any vehicle, any gear pitch, and any tooth count.
What is the difference between a spur gear and a pinion gear?
Spur gears are the most widely used gears that can achieve high accuracy with relatively easy production processes. They have the characteristic of having no load in the axial direction (thrust load). The larger of the meshing pair is called the gear and smaller is called the pinion.
What does 48 pitch gear mean?
Well 48p is the pitch of the teeth and 90t is the number of teeth on the gear.so its a 48° pitch gear with 90 teeth. its always important to make sure the spur gear and pinion gear are the same pitch.
How do you know how many teeth are in a spur gear?
The number of teeth (z). This value is: z = d/m. Module (m). Ratio between the pitch circle in millimeters and the number of teeth.
How many teeth should a gear have?
Good: 16 and 25 teeth. A bump on the large gear (eventually) hits every tooth on the small gear, wearing them all equally.
What is rack in gears?
Gear racks are utilized to convert rotating movement into linear motion. A gear rack has straight teeth cut into one surface of a square or round section of rod and operates with a pinion, which is a small cylindrical gear meshing with the gear rack.
What is bull gear?
The term bull gear is used to refer to the larger of two spur gears that are in engagement in any machine. The smaller gear is usually referred to as a pinion.
What is the ratio of spur gear to pinion?
Any two gears will have a “ratio”; if your RC car has a 20-tooth (20T) pinion gear and a 100-tooth (100T) spur gear, the ratio is 20:100. Divide the number of teeth on the spur gear (100) by the number of teeth on the pinion gear (15).
How to increase power on a pinion gear?
Conversely, if you wanted to gain more power, you could 1) decrease the pinion gear’s tooth count or 2) increase the spur gear’s tooth count. This tends to be the most difficult aspect of gearing for people to keep straight, and I find it helps to think of it in a relative fashion.
How do you calculate the RPM of a spur gear?
Spur Gear / Pinion Gear = Gear Ratio 86 / 23 = 3.74:1 (This means the spur gear will rotate once for every 3.74 times the pinion gear, and therefore the motor shaft, does.) Once we have all four numbers (Motor Kv, Battery Voltage, Pinion Gear Teeth, and Spur Gear Teeth, we can calculate the RPM to the transmission.
What are the correct ring and pinion position settings?
When setting up the positioning of a ring and pinion in any rear end, there are only two settings that need to be done/measured correctly to ensure proper gear setup and long gear life. These settings are: * Backlash (how close the ring gear is to the pinion).
