Gearing advice using a 5.5 Brushless
Hi there,
Sorry I posted this in the wrong place at first
I've just dropped a 5.5 brushless motor into my Xray T2 008 to run on a tarmac surface next week for a special video I'm doing with a major car manufacturer.
My current gearing setup which I have been using with the 13.5 motor, using the 34T front and rear pulley with 20T central one was as follows:
Spur: 81T
Pinion: 24T
FDR: 5.74
I've got a variety of pinions with 84T and 87T spurs to choose from.
Your advice would be helpful and gratefully received.
I used to race on carpet and was advised to remove the rear roll-bar which did make a big difference in the handling. Should I keep it off for running on tarmac, or should I consider putting it back on with such a hot motor to help with the back end if it gets a little tail happy
Thanks again for your advice.
Warmest regards
