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. Not published means it exists but no source we could find prints it. The top speed is kinematic: an ideal no-load RPM with no slip and no loss under load, so a real car is slower. Speed gearing is the taller set that ships in the box but is not fitted; swapping it in is the owner's job, and the car runs hotter on it.

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. Gearing in the box is supplied, not fitted: the fitted set is what the figures and the calculators use. Linked part numbers go to the maker's or official distributor's page for that part.
How these numbers were settled
The brushless Microbe.
- The kit page's technical specification prints 'Standard gearing 12T/45T', 'Internal transmission ratio: 3.4', a 35mm rear and 33mm front outer tire diameter, and optional 11T and 13T pinions and a 42T spur included in the box.
- The total is worked out as 45/12 x 3.4 = 12.75; 13T on 42T gives 10.98.
- The motor is the FLX28 1626 8000KV, which the page calls '2S capable', on the FLX28-2S25 ESC, and a 7.4V 2S LiPo is included, so 2S is stored.
