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. Not applicable means the vehicle does not come with it, like the motor on a roller or the tires on a race kit, or does not have one, like a KV rating on a brushed motor.

Gearing parts

Pinion and spur parts for the Hobao Extreme VTE2 8: fitted, and optional gearing supplied in the box

Spur	34T	Mod 1	Not applicable	85137 (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. Linked part numbers go to the maker's or official distributor's page for that part.

How these numbers were settled

The center spool carries a 34T Mod 1 spur (85137) with an 8mm bore; Hobao says spurs up to 48T fit.

The front and rear differentials use a 43T crown gear and a 13T pinion (85111, 87028), so the ratio after the spur is 3.31:1, worked out from the tooth counts; a 40T/15T set (OP-0146, OP-0147) is optional.
The ARR is sold without motor, speed control, pinion, wheels, tires, body, servo or radio, so the pinion, total ratio and tire do not apply.
The front differential is filled with #500K silicone oil and the rear with #50K; the shocks use #600 oil, a grade with no unit, so it is left blank.
Hobao gives the weight as 2360g in the page text and 2350g on its dimension drawing, so no weight is shown here.
The motor mount takes motors up to 119mm long in the front position and 140mm in the rear.
