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.

Gearing parts

Pinion and spur parts for the Kyosho Inferno GT2 VE Race Spec: fitted, and optional gearing supplied in the box
Component	Teeth	Pitch	Bore	Part number
Fitted at the factory
Pinion	16T	Mod 1	5 mm	PNGS1016 (opens in a new tab)
Spur	46T	Not published	Not applicable	IF148B (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

Electric 1/8 GT car with the 2020 Mercedes-AMG GT3 body (November 2024).

Kyosho's Technical Data gives 'Gear Ratio 9.51：1', 'Tire (F/R) Φ97mm ×48mm' and a TORX8+ motor rated kv2300.
The spare parts list names the PNGS1016 steel pinion (16T/1.0M/φ5.0), the IF148B 46T spur, and the IF106 43T bevel gear with the IF21 13T drive bevel.
Those tooth counts give 46/16 x 43/13 = 9.51, matching the printed total, so the ratio after the spur is 3.308.
Kyosho's TORX 8+ page (70602) gives 2300KV and a 5.0mm shaft, and the BRAINZ 8 ESC (82247) takes 2 to 4 cell LiPo; the product page says the car takes up to a 4-cell pack as two 2-cell packs.
Kyosho publishes no top speed; 2300KV on 4 cells works out to about 41 mph in theory with this ratio and tire.
The maintenance manual (p. 5 and 6) fills the front diff with No.SIL100000 and the center and rear with No.SIL4000 silicone oil.
The earlier GT2 VE versions (34102 with a Vortex 8 motor, 34107 with a TORX8) print 8.95:1 and are not covered here.
