Gearing

[damo_hall]

Nearly ready to go now most equipment purchased just stuck on the gearing. Ive got the schumacher SV2 running an 8.5 turn thunder power motor just in need of a starting point. Ive got the standard 83 tooth spur and i also have a 76 opinions needed guys and gals!:)

Use the 76 it gets the motor further back

ok will do cheers Gavin :) what pinion would you start with then? For indoor and outdoor?

i run 22 /78 on a 7.5

With the 83 spur the biggest pinion you can fit with a thunder power motor is 24 so I run that most of the time. Indoors it's about spot on but on tracks with bigger straights you will need to get a 78 or 76 to give you the option of longer gear ratio's.
