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
| Component | Teeth | Pitch | Bore | Part number |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fitted at the factory | ||||
| Pinion | 19T | Mod 1 | Not applicable | 85149 (opens in a new tab) |
| Spur | 44T | Mod 1 | Not applicable | 85041 (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
Nitro 1/8 on-road ARR with a two-speed transmission: a 15T/19T two-speed pinion (85149) on the clutch drives 48T and 44T spurs (85041), all Mod 1.
- The manual (step 30) puts the 48T spur on the first-gear housing and the 44T on the second, so second gear is 19T on 44T, shown here as the stock gearing, and first gear is 15T on 48T.
- The front and rear differentials use a 43T crown gear and a 13T pinion (85111, 87028), a ratio after the spur of 3.31:1 worked out from the tooth counts.
- That gives 7.66:1 in second gear and 10.58:1 in first; Hobao prints no ratio.
- The ARR comes without engine, muffler, air filter, body, wheels or tires, so the tire does 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.
- Optional two-speed pinion pairs run from 14T/18T to 20T/24T.

Every figure on this page traces to one of these. Where they disagreed, the note above says which was used and why.
