And LRP's even come out with a 2nd and 3rd variation to this motor as well, now including a brushless option....

They don't list the 'turns' of the motor online, on the box, etc.....but from what I've seen/heard these motors are 80T. But don't let that scare you into thinking the truck will creep along like a snail....with the stock pinion you'll be fine.

Hope this helps,

No offense Alex but STAY AWAY from the LRP they are over priced and under powered I put one I had on the Dnyo and its numbers stunk so I got another one and its were worse than the first one. They were both about the same as a 35 turn motor.. I run 55 turn motors and a 6 tooth pinon on the motor it is the same as a 4 to 1 and more torque out the gate..

Tamiya Cowboy,

I forgot what pitch the pinon hear is, do you know?

Also, were did you find a 6t pinon?

I am thinking its a 32p, if it is, I found a 8t.

Really?! Well I guess numbers don't lie. Haven't had any real problems with the one I have, nor the one Dad has for that matter....although neither of us have ever run gear reductions or try and haul around Joe's D9, haha.

LOL!! Yeah really.. But no they are not that great and for the price way spendy I used to run the 45 still not enuff snot so I went to a 55 and a 8 tooth and not enuff and now I run 55 and a 6 tooth and in 3 trucks I also have gear reductions on top of that..
