24T pinion, 76T spur
A 24T pinion on a 76T spur is a 3.167:1 spur ratio. With an assumed 2.72:1 internal ratio that is a 8.61:1 final drive, which on a 3300KV motor at 2S with 4.3 in tires works out to about 36.3 mph theoretical and 30.8 mph realistic.

Check price on AmazonWhat final drive does 24/76 give?
The spur ratio is 76 / 24 = 3.167. Your car's transmission or differentials multiply it. The internal ratio varies by model, so here is the final drive across the common range; find yours in the manual next to the gearing chart.
| Internal ratio | Final drive (FDR) | Character |
|---|---|---|
| 2:1 | 6.33:1 | tall: speed, more heat |
| 2.5:1 | 7.92:1 | tall: speed, more heat |
| 2.72:1 | 8.61:1 | typical 1/10 basher range |
| 3:1 | 9.50:1 | typical 1/10 basher range |
| 3.5:1 | 11.08:1 | typical 1/10 basher range |
How fast is 24/76?
Example: a 1/10 2WD truck geared for speed on 2S, 3300KV motor, 4.3 in tires and an assumed 2.72:1 internal ratio (FDR 8.61:1). Theoretical speed is a no-load ceiling; the realistic figure assumes about 85 percent of it, which is typical on stock tires. For your own motor and tires, use the gear ratio and top speed calculator.
| Battery | Motor RPM | Theoretical | Realistic |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2S LiPo (7.4 V) | 24,420 | 36.3 mph | 30.8 mph |
What does one tooth up or down do?
Speed scales with the pinion on a fixed spur. The heat rating compares each option with 24T, assuming 24T runs at a sensible temperature today.
| Swap | Speed change | Motor heat |
|---|---|---|
| 24T to 22T | -8.3% | cooler |
| 24T to 26T | +8.3% | moderate |
Which cars use a 76T 48P spur?
The 76T spur on this page is sold in 76T, 83T, 86T and 90T sets for Traxxas Slash and Rustler 2WD. Pitch matters more than tooth count: 48P gears only mesh with 48P gears. Set the mesh with a strip of paper between the gears as you tighten the motor, then remove it; there should be a tiny amount of play. See how to change a pinion gear.

Frequently asked questions
What is the gear ratio of 24/76?
76 divided by 24 is 3.167, so the spur ratio is 3.17:1. The final drive ratio multiplies that by your car's internal transmission or differential ratio, which is printed in the manual. At a 2.72:1 internal ratio it is 8.61:1; at 3:1 it is 9.50:1. Use the calculator with your own internal ratio for an exact figure.
Is 24T faster than 23T on a 76T spur?
Yes. On the same spur, speed scales with pinion teeth, so 24T is about 4.3 percent faster than 23T at the same motor RPM. The motor also works harder at every speed, so it runs warmer. Check the temperature after two or three minutes of running before going up another tooth.
Will a 24T 48P pinion fit my car?
Only if the spur is also 48P and the motor mount has enough adjustment for the pinion size. Pitch must match exactly; 48P gears will not mesh correctly with other pitches. Bore size must match the motor shaft, commonly 3.175 mm (1/8 in) on 1/10 motors and 5 mm on larger motors. The spur here is sold in 76T, 83T, 86T and 90T sets for Traxxas Slash and Rustler 2WD.
