I got the D1 Yokomo Drift Motor its a 15T Just wondering what gearing I should run. I know the spur I have on there is a 84 tooth, not sure about the pinion. I was running a 27t before. Thanks guys!
 
Try dropping about 6 teeth on the pinion, and monitor temps on the motor. Don't worry about any speed drops; that mod motor will wind WAY out... it has roughly 2.5x the rpms as your stock motor, maybe more.
 
I put the same gearing i have now on it 16 pinion 84 spur and it didnt get very hot and HOLY poop its fast!
