Rc10 6gear 15t pinion

Using stock 54t spur with 15t pinion and Trinity 27t stock brushed motor. Should this combo be safe enough for the 6 gear tranny ?

It's probably fine for the transmission. That motor probably isn't going to like it much. If it'll fit, I'd probably use a 13T pinion.

It's easier to get the gear ratio correct with 48 pitch gears, opposed to the original 32 pitch. They are also easier to find.

Okay I’ll get a 13t pinion for it. It’s a Trinity 1987 monster horsepower stock motor. And this car id like to keep 32p since my other rc10s are all 48p stealth’s
