Different pinions front and rear

What is the reasoning behind running different size pinions front to rear? I have read about guys running a 1 tooth difference.

It was suppoest to help with Clod stall. But it doesn't. Only thing to really cure Clod stall is two run a 4 channel radio and dual ESC's. Well worth it. 2.2 clods don't really get clod stall. It's the larger sized supers that suffer from it.

Clod stall, is that when one axle loses traction and all the power goes to that axle, leaving the axle with more traction stalled?

With the dual ESC setup, do you also run dual battery packs?

Clod Stall is=when one motor is put under a load, the electricity goes to the path of the least resistance. So the motor under a load recieves no power. There is no need to run dual batteries. With a good high turn lathe and some good batteries. You can get up to an hour of run time maybe more. I get close about an hour with my 2.2 clod and IB 1400mah 2/3A 8 cell pack.

I had an issue with my crawler during a 4wheel steer, where the rear almost wanted to crawl on to itself causing the chassis to severely twist. I was told that a smaller pinion in the rear may help resolve this issue. Any truth to this? I can get video of what I'm talking about if needed.. Sorry to hijack your thread, nice project by the way...
