Inspecting your drivetrain regularly will help you identify wear before it becomes a problem.
• What pinion gear should I use with the AS9652? — You must use a 48-pitch pinion with this 78-tooth spur gear. The specific number of pinion teeth depends on your desired gear ratio and driving style. Team Associated produces pinions in various tooth counts (typically ranging from 16T to 23T for 48-pitch systems), so consult your chassis manual or contact RC Model Shop for guidance on selecting the optimal ratio for your needs.
