PRECAUTIONS
t
Never touch moving parts.
t
Never disassemble while the batteries are installed.
t
Always let parts cool before touching.
GEARING
The vehicle is equipped with optimal gearing for 3S batteries. When using 2S batteries,
changing the pinion gear to a 23T 48P pinion will optimize speed, power and efficiency.
Installing a pinion gear with fewer teeth or a spur gear with more teeth will increase torque
and reduce top speed. Likewise, a pinion gear with more teeth or a spur gear with fewer teeth
will reduce torque and increase top speed. Take care when installing larger pinion gears as
this can “overgear” the vehicle, resulting in an overheated motor and ESC. When testing dif-
ferent gearing options, pay close attention to the temperature of the motor and speed control
to ensure you are operating within the correct temperature range. Neither the motor nor the
ESC should be hot to the touch. If the motor is too hot, switch to a lower pinion gear and/or
higher spur gear combination.
CHANGING THE PINION GEAR/GEAR RATIO
1. Remove the screws holding the gear cover in place
.
2. Loosen the set screw and remove the installed pinion gear.
3. Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
4. Place the new pinion on the end of the motor shaft so the set screw is located
over the flat on the shaft.
5. Position it so the teeth line up with the spur gear and secure the pinion by tightening
the set screw.
6. Set the gear mesh.

TAZER SPORT 3300KV BRUSHLESS MOTOR (DYNS1495)
SETTING THE GEAR MESH
The gear mesh has already been set at the factory. Setting it is only necessary when changing
motors or gears.
Proper gear mesh (how gear teeth meet) is important to the performance of the vehicle. When
the gear mesh is too loose, the spur gear could be damaged by the pinion gear of the motor. If
the mesh is too tight, speed could be limited and the motor and ESC will overheat.
1. Loosen the motor screws and slide the motor back.
2. Put a small piece of paper between the pinion and spur gears.
3. Push the gears together while tightening the motor screws.
4. Remove the paper. Check the mesh at 3–5 different locations around
the spur gear for a small amount of movement.
5. Install gear cover.
NOTICE:
For a 3S Li-Po battery, use the included 18T pinion gear. For a 2S Li-Po battery,
we recommend installing the optional 23T pinion gear (LOS4123).
NOTICE:
If you use the 23T pinion gear with a 3S Li-Po battery, damage to the vehicle, ESC,
and/or motor will occur.

Frank wants to change second sentence to: When using 2S batteries, the 22S
will work perfectly on the stock gearing. However, for 2S running, changing
the pinion gear to a 23T 48P pinion will optimize speed, power and efficiency.
This doesn't make sense. The 2S needs to change pinion gear? or it will work
ok with stock gears?
