I have a Hyperion 6000 and currently run it with a 9 or 10 tooth I cant remember which. The car is quite fast but I have a 13 tooth pinion and was wondering if anyone has had experience with a higher tooth pinion on the Hyperion. A large problem with this motor is overheating and I do not want it to burn up. Im running it with a mamba esc and a URC 8 cell Race Packs.
I think i'll try the pinion for a few minutes and see how the car handles it.

I would highly recommend that you run a 11 tooth pinion max. The Hyperion is a hot wind and you will burn it up on a bigger pinion (sooner or later... probably sooner.)

If you want more speed, you could go to a wraith or Aon. The Aon can use a 16 tooth pinion with a 3 cell lipo and is very very fast.
