Hi all... was curious what brand pinions are recommended outside of corally OEM pinions. Any suggestions?

I just picked up a handful of Yeah Racing in pinions. Looks like decent quality but haven't long enough for an informed opinion. Putting a 15 in the Sketer tomorrow...will report if I run into any issues.Hi all... was curious what brand pinions are recommended outside of corally OEM pinions. Any suggestions?
Installed the 15 tooth Yeah Racing pinion in the Sketer today. Man, what a difference! I only ran it on 3S so far but I'm impressed (probably shipping with at least a 14 as stock would have been a good move). Motor (no fan or heatsink) was noticeably warmer but never got over 125 degrees, although it was only between 45 and 50 degrees outside. I suspect on 4S this summer a fan or two will be required running gear. I'm not used to Corally design so felt like I was poking around in the dark figuring out how to install the pinion and adjust the mesh...a quicker job next time, I hope!Hi all... was curious what brand pinions are recommended outside of corally OEM pinions.

Only one run on the Yeah Racing pinion but all seems good so far. Under $6 for harden steel is kind to the wallet.
Yeah Racing is more Nope, No Racing. Not recommended.I guess yeah racing is out given the issue you posted about?
Just ordered a 14 and a 15 Tekno...we'll give 'em a shot next weekend.ive used tekno before on my 1/8th buggy's
I got a tekno 15 tooth too but I'm not going to put on my sketer. Even with the 13 tooth and a fan I'm pushing 170 degrees... so I'm guessing it's pretty much maxed out. I might try the 15 tooth on my radixFinally got around to testing out the Tekno 15t pinion today. Ran two full packs and no signs of premature wear at all...looks promising to me! I'll update later if I run into any problems.
If you are getting such high temps I think you might have something in your drivetrain that is binding. I suggest you pull the motor away from the spur gear and check things out without the motor being engaged with the rest of the drivetrain.I got a tekno 15 tooth too but I'm not going to put on my sketer.

I was pushing 175 today...but that was on 4s, the 15 tooth and without a heatsink or fan. Was about 50 degrees outside. Trying out a heatsink & fan soon... hopefully later this week.I got a tekno 15 tooth too but I'm not going to put on my sketer.

It's so much better with the 15 tooth...way more air control and just the right amount of wheelie. I have the parts in the mail to widen it out. Assuming I can get temps under control, the Sketer may be perfect (aside from that ugly body...plain hideous).
