gearing

[Knuckles]

I don't know anything about gearing on gassers, if you want to go up a size or down a size how do you do it? Is it as much of a concern with gearing like there is in electrics? Looking for some education.

If you have a XB, the gear from the motor clutch bell and the one it meshes with can be swapped. It will loose a little low end power, but will get better top speed.

Also tire size will make a difference.

Re: gearing

You can swap your a and b gears to gain more top end but will loose some down low. If you have an xb if you swap the 29 and 31 is your first option

Gimme a ring tomorrow, I will explain gearing for ya if you want

I will call if I need anything, just looking to get some education. Lol haven't even touched it yet.

To go with a taller or higher gear ratio you will need more power or you loose performance on the low end.

 

[krashkrieg]

with the motor knuckles has in his XB...he already got the power....

Is the gearing the same on the xb and xt? I want to run my bigger tires on it. I think my motor can handle it. What the hell am I saying I don't know anything about it. Lol

The gearing on the XB and XSC are 29-31

The gearing on the XT is 25-35 due to the larger tires.

I'd start by swapping the gears to run 31-29 it makes for a bit more top speed without sacrificing you low end. A taller tire will also give more top speed.

If you ran a 35-25 from the XT, I think you would find it to be too tall. It would be fast but not that quick.

I need more low end grunt with bigger tires.

Considering that I bought obeasts xb build and want to make it a mt instead. I also ordered a flow system exhaust because it fits under body.

If you run a XT size tire the 25-35 will give the low end grunt.

Awsome gearing for bigger tires it launches off the line

Where can I get those gears? Are they metal? Part# maybe?

I have a question. I am running bow-tie's with 35-25 gears...is that going to be faster than the 31-29 with the same tire.

It will be faster on the top end but slower on take off.

I always wondered because I see xb and xsc rippin around rather quick ...Thanks for the info on that

 

[Knuckles]

Ok so I see the tires posted the baja j-7 imex tires in another thread, so what do you think about gearing for those?

Your welcome.
