What's the car? Do you want high speed or acceleration? You must say these things before you can be helped.

I don't own a Rustler so I don't know the teeth numbers on the gears. Tell us what the numbers are, then we can help some more.

First, if you haven't already put your new motor on it, do it, then try it out with the stock gears. If it isn't fast enough, keep adding more teeth to the pinion gear (not literally, I mean buy a set of new pinions), until you get the speed you want. Be careful not to go too high or you will over heat your motor. After each run when you change the pinion check the motor temperature.

you can go up on the pinion or down on the spur. once you find the maximum speed on one try moving the other up or down a tooth and see if you get any better. i have a 13t double motor in my rustler and it has 81t spur with a 19t pinion and it has a great power band from acceleration to top speed
