Which motor/speedo? it does make a diff on gearing.

general close would be 35.52 roll out... 84 spur 42 pinion... Again speedo and motor can matter.. that is with a tekin, and duo 3...

on the tc5 you do have to do a little dance to get motor and spur to match up so you may have to play with spur size vrs pinion size but you should be able to hit the ratio.

Dont laugh, but i squeezed my veleneon 3500 in there. I got a 72 tooth spur atm with a 25 pinion. Tryin to figure out what spur/pinion to order... I have no clue what rollout means, this is all new territory for me...

Who is mikesbrother btw? Id be thankful for the loan of tires for the evening if your there wednesday~)

Hi Hesh. Jim Scott/Sugarshaker

"roll out" is how far your car travels for 1 revolution of your pinion,measured in Millimeters

i had "thought so" from other posts, but wasnt sure... and the more i read about rollout today just confused me more... every formula i saw was different.... im just trying to comprehend what that has to do with the whole grand scheme of things... if i tried that with my slash the motor would overheat in 2 minutes, so it leaves me a bit baffled untill i can get a better understanding of the importance and reasoning... sorry, im still a n00btard/

Are you running this in stock sedan? If so, does that motor fit within the rules for Stock Sedan? Just something to consider.
