Default Gen 1 Stage 2 Motor and Gear Combos

Hey guys, im just wondering what are some good motor and gear combos. Ive seen peoples posts when i searched for this and some people mentioned 8-25 gear or a 10-23...what does that mean? right now i have the red stage 3 motor, it has 9 teeth and 30k rpm......but idk what gear i should use for a good amount of torque and speed.... thanks

Those numbers are for the EVO stage 2 motors, not Gen. 1.

Yes, you should. I like to use the White motor from the gen 1 motor upgrade, but thats just me. I'd recommend you using the Red one.

i find the blue is very slow and the yellow is a cross between the red and the blue, for me the white one is best then comes the red one, so for speed i think it goes
red
white
yellow
blue

correct me if im wrong but from the motors i got thats what ive noticed

UH?how did you come up with that?

AS a rule of thumb the more torque, the less top end your going to have. The less torque the more top end...

They may just seem slower because it takes them so long to get to top speed... but trust me its proven that dontspammes list is right...
