Going to a smaller pinion will lower top speed and increase acceleration. Larger pinion=more heat, smaller pinion=less heat, more heat=less runtime. Of course there is always exceptions to this rule. Sometimes too small of a pinion can create more heat and waste power.Oct 8, 2009
Is smaller pinion gear faster?
A larger pinion gear or a smaller spur gear will both provide more speed. A smaller pinion gear or a larger spur gear will provide more torque and acceleration, but less top speed.
What is the small gear called?
pinion
Is a smaller pinion gear faster?
A bigger pinion or smaller spur gear makes the vehicle have more top speed, at a decrease in acceleration. It's most likely that gearing up will make everything run a bit hotter, and shorten run times. A smaller pinion or larger spur gear has the opposite effect.Feb 28, 2017

Does a smaller pinion gear faster?
The effects of changing a pinion gear will be the similar on every model. As stated previously going to a larger pinion will increase top speed, and generally decrease acceleration. Going to a smaller pinion will lower top speed and increase acceleration.Oct 8, 2009
What does smaller pinion gear do?
Going to a smaller pinion will lower top speed and increase acceleration. Larger pinion=more heat, smaller pinion=less heat, more heat=less runtime. Of course there is always exceptions to this rule. Sometimes too small of a pinion can create more heat and waste power.Oct 8, 2009
