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.
How these numbers were settled
Kit: motor, ESC, servo, radio and battery are not included, so KV and cell count are the builder’s.
- Rlaarlo’s spec table for the kit gives a 17T motor pinion, a 46T spur and an overall drive ratio of 9.7, and lists the kit tire at 115mm (the RTR’s is 118mm).
- The table’s 2.71 internal drive ratio is the spur over the pinion (46/17), not the gearing after the spur; worked out from the printed total, the after-spur figure is 9.7 x 17 / 46 = 3.585.
- The kit adds titanium turnbuckles and a carbon fibre rear shock plate over the roller.

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