10T Gearing for brushed motors

Post by ca-rj »

I am looking for a brushed motor gearing chart for my new truck. Couldn't find it in the PDF's AE has on their website for the 10T. Usually they have one in the instruction manual but couldn't find it.

The original Stealth transmission ratio is 2.25:1, so you can use math (somehow) to compare the suggested ratios to the T4, which uses a 2.6:1 internal ratio.

Ryan, as a general rule, I drop 4 teeth on the pinion when going from "modern" trans (2.6) to the 2.25 stealth.

So if a T4.x gearing is 23/81, start with 19/81
