Gearing for a E-Revo w/10xl and 16 cells??
 

i will be running my E-Revo with a maxx tranny, 10xl motor, 9920, 16 ib 4200 cells, and revo slipper assembly with a 40 tooth mod1 spur. what would be a good place to start for gearing? i was thinking of 16 or 18 but dont want to buy a 16 or 18 and it be under of over geared since the pinions arent to cheap. any help would be greatly appriciated.

A 40t slipper? Id try a 13 or 14 t to start with on the save side, the less teeth on the spur the more speed, but since its a 10XL on 16 cells you could get away with a 15t. But id try somthing lower so your controller doesnt have problems. hope this helps.

well i just tried it and it wobbles ever so slightly so it looks like im going with the strobe system. any ideas where to start with that? also remember, brushless can fry from being under and over geared so starting to low will be just as bad as starting high.

Put a 14 to start and maybe a 15 or so for faster runs. You running the emaxx tranny or the tmaxx tranny. That is for the e

Now you change up on me. ;) Well I would go 18 51 or so. That would make it run. With a low kv motor and a low cell count for it. It is not as bad as if you push your motor.

Yes 18/51 sounds about right, and if it isnt doing the best , you can get away with a 20.

well the 18 is sold out. so would a 20 be ok? remember, this is a 10xl after all....

It should be ok, and the fact its a 10xl it will be ok with a 20;P

You can run a 20. I have ran a 20 on a 9xl with 16 cells.

well i went to run my truck with the new strobe slipper and 20 tooth pinion for the first time with the new motor and come to find out that one of the ib 4200 cells is bad:035: :mad:1 :035: would it be ok to run it with the 20/51 gearing on 12 cells?

I think it would be ok, but by the looks of it, it will be no faster than a hv-maxx, and it will not have very good torque. Sorry to hear about the bad cell :(

thanks syvester. its ok that it would be slow, i just want to run it for now since it will be about a week till i can get another cell in. although hes out and it wouldnt let me send him a email:035::mad:1 :035:anwho. i guess i could always run 15 cells until i get another....hey sylvester, have you run your 10l yet?

I am still awaiting it, it should be here monday or tuesday with all the goods, i still have to get a strobe slipper with a pinion thought. Ill report as soon as its running.

Hey run it on 12 squee and let us know how it does. I think it may be more than slyvester says. No offense slyvester. ;) I have seen a recommendation on the 10 xl of 12 - 20 cells. I would try it.

so 20/51 would be ok? coolhand, if it frys it your paying for it!

squee, just to not do any damage, maybe you could try 15 cells for now? 12 cells on a 10xl, can you say 45 mins of runtime? ;)

A problem maybe,

when he adds the cell he gets, to the pack he has used for a while then maybe the used pack may have a different charge/disharge rate (from being used), and the new cell you add could be under charged/over charged/over discharged/under discharged during use and charging,

personnally I noticed this when i added some gp3300 to my 12 cell packs, after a charge the new ones I added where still cool, while the rest where hot.

So I would just wait for all 16.

Yea, thanks for that i almost forgot!

you more likely to fry it on 15 than 12 squee. I not worried. 20 51 is a decent gearing for 12 to. I would not be scared. ;)

well i tried it and its all good. its STONE cold. the batteries dumped in about 10 minutes but they havent been used for about 6 months. BTW, the ib 4200s are BRAND NEW. so its not a problem.

So you tested it with 12or 15 squee? I figured it up to be about 30 mph on 12.

i have tested 12, 14, and 15. on 14 it lasted for about 2 minutes before another cell went out. so far thats 3. i just want my money back on them. i think on 16 cells or the 6s lipo im gonna get its gonnna be close to 60 mph. it was about 45-50ish with 14 cells. the 10xl is the best way to go in my honest opinion although i have had 1 of my old cells go bad and 3 new ib's:035: :mad:1 :035: :mad:1 :035: :mad:1

jesus. thats EFFING fast.

Your running 20/51 with stock diffs?

Didnt they recall those IB 4200's?

yup, 20/51 with stock diffs (the only thing there is for a revo...remember, there isnt any bulkless or anything for the revos...yet!) and its not even warm. STONE cold! i dont think that they recalled all of them i think only the bad ones. he said send them back and he will replace the bad ones. nitro, what part of b.r. do you live in? know of any good bashing spots?

I live inbetween BR and Chocolate city. Theres a small track with races on Sundays in Destrahan. I plan on trying it out this Sunday. Other than that I bash around the house or by the levees.

theres one of the best in louisiana near laffaytte about 45 minutes from my house (in br right before dehnam springs bridge on florida blvd). its pretty nice and VERY big. might want to give it a shot. the name is krazy kajun raceway.

I've heard of KKR. Looks amazing. Just havent had the time to go. Might go this summer, but for now, the D-han track will do if I can get there.

LMAO!!! i JUST got that chocolate city joke...
