501X gear chart

[jimmy]

Mike West kindly made a gear chart for the 501X using different pulleys and spurs - so rather useful!

I put it in a PDF and added a link to the review

its here if you want it in PDF format:

Hi
I need some help with pinion gear ratios using a Novak 13.5 running the kit pulleys and spur.
Thanks

Jimmy, can we get a new gear ratio chart created for the new big belt and pulley conversion (18T center pulleys with 37T front and rear pulleys) using both the 96T Tamiya and 87T Associated B4 spur gears?

[jimmy]

no worries - I will look into this, been meaning to do it for a while but now you ask.... :)

I got the LRP 6.5t bonded, and the manufacturer suggests a 13.5:1 ratio for a 4wd buggy. Now according to the the Big belt chart, I need to slam a 13t pinion into the buggy while I am using a 87t Spur.

Does this sound right?
I thought all the bonded rotors have more torque?

I don't think anyone runs a pinion that small on them. The manufactirer recommendations are very conservative with the some of the brushless motors.

I was chatting to someone at the race today and he ran a 6.5 on a 21 pinion (don't know what spur) I know others run 5.5s on a 17/87 ratio.

Thanks for the info,

I ask because the 6.5t does not feel all that quick...?
I have started on a 21/87, felt very bland--- ended up with a 15/87 and feels much beter? 15t is the smallest I have in pinions, I am starting to think it might want to run 15/96 to get it closer to 13.5:1 ratio..?

Soooo not brushed...?

Anybody have some info on how I can get some more power from my LRP Sphere digital speedo/ X11 6.5t ?

( i hate it that a Mamba max is whipping me...)

thx for the help

That gear chart is very useful, thanks Jimmy:thumbsup:
My worlds car has this gear ratio 15/91
15 tooth pinon, and 91 tooth spur gear

With that Tekin Redline 362 motor I have and Tekin R1 pro
I should hit the 50 mph mark with it.

Great chart, thank you very much.
