Kraton 8s gears

Just got the k8s looking for gear that will make it do wheelies like crazy any recommendation?

I'm not sure as far as the k8 but I will mention, any
change to the spur and pinion will change the temps so
keep a close eye on it.

Figure out how many teeth your current pinion gear has and buy a few extras each one with 2-3 teeth less than the next. Keep using progressively smaller pinions until it wheelies how you like it.

Much appreciated so the smaller count the more torque?

On the pinion gear, yes. The spur gear is the opposite.

Alternatively, you could try turning up the punch on your ESC. That should give you a little more oomph out of the hole without spending money on gears.

How do I do that it's stock with the firma esc and stock motor. And where. Would I find gears big enough I look online and ordered some but was the wrong ones was for 1/10 scale

IIRC the K8 uses Mod 1.5 gears and I think the stock pinion is 23T. If it were me Id order a 21T, 19T, and a 17T. One of those should do what you want. As for changing settings in your stock ESC, you'll need to refer to the user manual for that ESC, which i believe is the Firma 160A.
