Mardave v12 gear chart
 
Anybody know where to get one from?

Dont think there is one really. depending on if the track is tight and twisty gear it low say 50 spur 14-16 pinion or if you,ve got flowing corners and long staights gear it at 18 pinion. Best to judge it by the heat of your motor, thats all I do.
from what I remember spurs are 46 50 52 pinions from 13-21 just dont burn your motor out.

I know what rough gearing to be on for the tracks i race on. 12/50 & 15/50
But I could do with fine tuning the gearing so i can gain the maximum preformance out of the motor.

The 12-50 will give you more acceleration but lower top end
the 15-50 will give you slower acceration but higher top end
If youve got a lot of bends and braking to do keep the pinion low just try going up a size each time. Too high a pinion and you will be slow out of the corners. Trial and error is all you can do but remember if your motor gets too hot it loses power.
After a 5 min race you should be able to hold your finger on the motor for 5 seconds without burning it.
If you,ve got the G2 dont use com drops in it . they kill the brushes. Just add a drop of wd40

The 12/50 is used on a very small circuit 8~10 second laps
the 15/50 is used on a huge circuit arounf 13~17 second laps
:D
wd40 is best applyed with a cotten bud.

You probably know it but clean and oil the axle bearings after each heat

stox217 12-11-2009 09:54 PM

i do that every month or so
but i propley clean them in wd40 so they spin smoothley
and polish or replace any metal items.
Also rematch the 4 cell packs (equalise ect)

i use ceramics dont need to lube em and you can now get front wheels with bearings so ill be getting ceramics for the front too!!

stox217 12-11-2009 10:03 PM

Make shure there rubber sheilded bearings too.
I recomend my sponsor as i brought some ceramic ones for the front and it made a huge diffrence. like 6~8 seconds in the front wheel spinning!

steelie600 12-11-2009 10:10 PM

teflon sheilded marra!!

stox217 12-11-2009 10:28 PM
