Gearing For RB5

[Dhami1]

Hi guys, im looking to run my rb5 for the first time this weekend at dudley. Got a friend to help me put all the electronics in yesterday,im not so good with the soldering - thanks butch!!

here's what i have:
Nosram Matrix ISTC Esc
Orion 10.5 and 7.5 Brushless Motors
Lipo Cells
48dp 78T spur

Ive decided i should start with the 10.5 motor, just need a little advice on gearing now. we've just installed a 28T pinion for now.. and this seems fine to me (tried it in the back garden)

what pinion should i be using..? am i in the right area using the 28T on a 10.5 motor?

Thanks in advance
Gurdeep

p.s. anyone else using the rb5 at dudley tomorrow?

Hi mate. Have u got Lipos yet? if so then this is a little low. If not then u r in about the right place.
P.S. I am going to have to borrow ur mp9 if u dont race neo and I get in?lol

hi stu!! (just sent you an email too)

yes im running a friends lipo at the moment (not had time to get one myself).. its a reedy 5000mah 20C. i cant fit any pinion bigger than a 28..not physically possible to mesh with spur gear??

and as for neo.. Im helping to build the Track mate! apart of DXR :D looking forward to racing the mp9 there..

Nice try though. Kyosho wont give me one to run so I have to buy 1 which £450 is a lot of money for 1 meeting. I will have to go losi as they can be picked up for about £200 ish. Good luck tomoz mate and I hope u enjoy it.

hope tomorrow goes well..i will report back to you ;)

so will it be ok to start on 28t pinion?.. dnt wanna fry the esc or motor. lol

start with a 26T pinion if u have one.

i tried my novak 10.5 with a 26T 2 weeks back. very happy with the speed... especially since the motor wasn't warm and i can still gear it more aggressively during a race. fyi, i was using the novak motor with my tekin rspro.
