no, gearing the pinion down to about a 11 or 12t will be best for temps on 6s. 15t is still too much for 6s. if you were running 4s, a 15t would be just fine.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
