Hi Carl,
What that means is depending on your motor pinion size you will get a ratio of 10/1 on the main and 4.95/1 on the tail and so forth. In other words the first number is the main gear ratio and the second number is the tail drive ratio so you get 10:4.95/1 with I think a 15 tooth pinion because the Trex has a 150 tooth main gear.
I hope I made that understandable,
Huey
