B44 Gearing
 

Hi

I have an B44. I run on a large astroturf track.

I run an Novak GTB Brushless Speedo, with a Novak 5.5R velociti motor.

An 84spur, what pinion should I use?

If I use a Novak 5.5balistic would the gearing be different from the above motor, if so, what would you recommend?

Thanks

pm snige on here. He was running novak 5.5r with gtb yesterday and It was good.

On my 5.5 LRPX12 I use a 18 pinion - i wouldn't of thought that would be far off - hope this helps you

I can tell you what gearing I'm on a BJ4 tomorrow when I'm home, but with regard motors I've run both in the car, the newer Ballistic ones fell really very similair in terms of performance I think but do run a little bit cooler, of course you can change the motor timing too. I would start with same gearing and take it from there.

Thanks for the advice.

Also the ESC is therm out after about 3mins, when running an 20pinion. Any ideas?

Fan OK???? Check also motor bearings and rotor?

I run an x11 5.5 with a losi esc indoors with an 18t pinion. Aside from being far too fast it's good and has never therm out even after 10-12 min. I've been told to run a 22-23t for outdoors...

Glad this thread has come up, I run 84/18 and my motor gets very very hot, I have now added a fan, but it doesnt seem to do much.

Motor is a 5.5L Novak with an LRP Shere TC, does this sound about right?

hey last week i ran a 6.5r velociti motor with 20/84 gearing and the motor was very very hot and i noticed that around the 4min mark the motor started to loose power i change the gearing to 18/84 and it was still the same so i'm thinking there might be some thing wrong with the motor.yesturday i ran a 5.5r velociti with 20/81 all day and no problems at all the temp of the motor was just right hope this helps:thumbsup:

I ran a 21T pinion on my SP V3 5.5 at talywain today and the motor barely got hot at all.

Is motor gearing also dependent on what lipo's we are using?
I say this because it seems people can run the same set up motor & speedo wise but motor temps can differ a fair bit.
So basically does running different c rating/mah lipo's afect how hot motors run

never noticed it myself. I have a 3800mah 25c pack I use for practice and then 4200mah 35c packs for races and don't seem to have much variance in motor temp

Thanks
