I don't think you'll be able to gear it that high without excess heat, but it may live for a few speeds run like that. I think something closer to a 12:1 FDR would be better.

Skellyo, How do you think 11/47 gearing would do?

I think you'd be good with a 13T pinion. It puts it at right around 12:1 FDR and speed with ballooning is ~50mph.

Now we both have a buggy and a truggy! Cool! But I thought you saud you hated buggies.....???

Takedown 07.11.2008 12:41 PM

I never said I hated them. I said that I disliked them but hey the 8ight and the MBX5 series designs are the only buggy/truggy layouts I dont infact like so i said to myself I might aswell give a shot at trying out a 1/8 buggy.

BL_RV0 07.11.2008 12:49 PM

Takedown 07.11.2008 05:39 PM

Nice greg! Is the 1512 powerful enough to propel it past 40mph on 5s-6s without getting hot? I really have my eyes set on the Mega 22/45/2...

Sweet, let us know how that motor runs. Well in the safe zone as you will be running around 30 000rpm

Takedown 07.11.2008 05:40 PM

Ya I didnt want to pop over 40k rpms because Ive hear the sweetspot for most brushless motors is around 35-40k rpms. I really hope 1400kv will be enough on 6s though...
