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 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. Not published means it exists but no source we could find prints it.
Gearing parts

| Pinion | 20T | 48P | 3.175 mm | 1338 (opens in a new tab) |
| Spur | 72T | 48P | Not applicable | 92149 |
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 RTR manual fits a 20T 48P pinion (1338) on the Reedy 550 brushed motor and a 72T 48P spur (92149) on the center spool (pp. 12-13); a 30T drive gear (31860) on its own shaft sits between them as an idler and does not change the ratio.
- The product page and the RTR press release print a 2.6:1 internal ratio, the ring and pinion (34T/13T, part 31887) that the maker's part page calls 2.6, so the total of 9.36:1 is worked out as 72 / 20 x 2.6.
- The maker does not publish the diameter of the rally block tires on their 1.9 in (41mm) wheels.
- The motor is brushed (550, 15 turns), so it has no kV rating; the Reedy SC500X speed control is rated for 2-3S LiPo.
- The front and rear gear differentials are filled with 5,000 cSt diff fluid; the friction-damper shocks use 80,000 cSt diff fluid (5448) on the shaft instead of shock oil.
- The product page gives the width as 190mm and the press release as 200mm, so the width is left blank.
- The Apex2 Sport ST550 RTR (30127) is the same chassis with the same gearing, motor and speed control under a Super Touring body, on touring tires whose diameter is not published either.
