Stock is as the vehicle ships. Calculated is worked from the stock figures on this page rather than stored beside them, so the two cannot drift apart. Derived is worked out from gear tooth counts the maker publishes rather than printed as a ratio; the notes below say how. The top speed is kinematic: an ideal no-load RPM with no slip and no loss under load, so a real car is slower. The maker advertises 50 mph, which is their own claim on their own conditions.
Gearing parts

| Pinion | 16T | Mod 0.8 | 5 mm | ARA310999 (opens in a new tab) |
| Spur | 61T | Mod 0.8 | Not applicable | ARA311100 (opens in a new tab) |
Tooth counts are the ones in the specifications above. Pitch is given as metric module (Mod 1, Mod 0.8) or diametral pitch (32P, 48P). They are different standards and are not interchangeable, even where the numbers look close. Bore is the pinion’s hole, listed separately from the motor shaft (5 mm on the stock motor). Linked part numbers go to the maker's or official distributor's page for that part.
How these numbers were settled
The brushless 223S version of the Gorgon 2WD monster truck, a separate SKU from the brushed Mega Gorgon, with a Spektrum Firma 3660 4000Kv motor and the Spektrum SLT 45A 2-in-1 ESC and receiver rated for 2S or 3S LiPo.
- Horizon's spec table for this SKU prints no gearing.
- The 16T pinion and 61T spur come from the standard-parts list.
- Horizon's standard-parts list names the 2WD gearbox: a 15T layshaft gear driving the 47T diff through a 29T idler, so the idler cancels and the transmission ratio is 47/15 = 3.13, the figure Horizon prints for the Quake 223S on the same gearbox.
- Final drive is 61/16 x 3.13 = 11.93.
- The stock tire is the dBoots Cut Chevron MT, the same tread as the Quake 223S; no page prints its diameter, so 127mm is carried over from the Quake 223S roll-out (33.44mm per motor turn at 11.93).
- The Freedom Flyer 223S (ARA3530S) is this SKU with a different body and a battery and charger in the box.
