Ok so maybe someone here can help, got a mamba Max pro esc with a tekin 21.5 red line motor got it soldered and in my psw and for some reason my reverse seems slow to me but forward seems to work ok and also what spur/pinion would you suggest for this motor?
Did you recalibrate the end points?
Did you plug the ESC into the Castle link and make sure it is programmed for 100% reverse and not just 50%?
The first page will have gearing info, that is a slow motor but the gearing listed up front is still probably the way to go.
Probably somewhere in the low 2000's.

So I think I'm gonna try the 32p 56/14? I'm leaving it as it is for now till I get paid again.

Motor and gearing Gods... I have questions for ye:
I have a HH BR_XL waterproofed. Looking at doing 80% bashing / 20% crawling. The rig is going to get dirty and wet. Mostly trail running. I'll be running 4s Lipo and I want speeds of about 15 MPH or more? Looking at these motors:
Gearing? Spur / pinion? I have the stock spur on hand.
All praise is due to the Motor and Gearing Hypno Toad

Brood vs Holmes just pick your poison. They are both top quality.
First page for gearing?
Honestly though if you want it to be fast and still crawl you want a 4 pole brushless that is 3000-3500kv.
You are going to run into severe brush wear on those motors running 4s. You will likely have around 4 hours of run time before you'll need to replace the brushes. You can probably get 3-4 brush swaps done before you need to have the comm turned.
You would be best off with a waterproofed brushless system.

nigels_world, I hear you on the HH or Brood. Rock solid all the way around.
Harley, thanks for the advice. That is good to know. I don't have time for hassling around so maybe I'll run 3s and take it slower? As for the brushless world, I'll be getting a separate MMxP/ROC412 setup later.

Yes I did but could not figure out the conversion to 32p

Simply divide the spur count by the pinion count. A 54t spur is common, just adjust the pinion size.
