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 65 mph, which is their own claim on their own conditions.
Gearing parts
| Component | Teeth | Pitch | Bore | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fitted at the factory | ||||
| Pinion | 16T | Mod 1 | 5 mm | ARA310963 (opens in a new tab) |
| Spur | 50T | Mod 1 | Not applicable | ARA310978 (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 current Notorious 6S stunt truck.
- Like the Kraton V6 it is geared differently from the V5: Horizon's standard-parts list for ARA8611V6 names a 16T HD pinion, where the V5 is printed at 12T.
- The same list names a 50T spur on a limited-slip centre diff and GP4 diffs with a 43T spiral ring and 10T input gear (43/10 = 4.3), so final drive is 50/16 x 4.3 = 13.44.
- Power is a Spektrum Firma 4074 2050Kv motor and the Firma 150A Smart ESC V2 rated for 3S to 6S.
- The stock dBoots Backflip 6S 3.8 tire (ARAC8795) prints an overall diameter of 6.8 in (172mm).
- Stock gearing computes to about 68 mph at 3.7V per cell against Arrma's 65+ mph.
