That is kinda what I was thinking about the pinion. Removing the cover did make a big difference. My punch is on 5, if I need more I will give that a try. I am pretty happy with the way it runs on the 14 tooth as long as I can keep my temps down. If I ever go back to the 12 tooth I will probably do punch 9.I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with the 14T pinion. A bunch of guys are running the 16T in warm southern weather with no major issues on temps reported. I've heard of the Dusty Motor covers impeding air flow a bit. That coupled with the dirt guards and high sidewalls probably are enough to cause your heat issues.
I have a 14T RR installed on mine. Cold here though so can't comment on my own temps.
If you haven't already, try turning your punch up to 9. Will make a big difference in pop on take-off and in air adjustments. That coupled with 6s should be plenty of zip.
Only video I got, you can see my son did a backflip. Thats completely stock on 12 tooth.
I'd consider putting in the 16 tooth, but aside from doing backflips, he likes to run at full speed up and down the street and I'm afraid it will overheat, plus it will hurt even more if he hits me again.
@robl45 that says "Video Unavailable" I don't know what is different about yours but mine just didn't have enough wheel speed completely stock to flip all the way over. Maybe It would with the punch dialed up with the 12 tooth but definitely not stock punch. As it sits right now it does it perfectly on punch 5 with 14 tooth.
