What size would you recommend? The parts list on the TA website listed pinion s from 15 to 24 teeth.

It's been a while but i want to say in the teens- I'd start at a 16-18 and go up as needed. The goal being good run time balanced with good performance. That will cool things off both on the motor and the speed control

I'll look around and see what I can find online.

Thanks for all the help.

Looks like A Main Hobbies has a lot of 48P pinion gears. Should be no problem for me to get pretty much any size.

Got several pinions in this week. Put the lowest on last night, a 16T. Car runs for as long as the battery will hold up and does not overheat. Don't have to hold back at all. It does seem somewhat under-powered now, though. I'll start working my way up in size and see if I can find one with better speed but that still does not overheat the ESC.
