Gearing for a BL stampede
 

I got a stampede and just bought a mamba maxx 5700 system, im using a 2s lipo. I need to see whats a good starting point for gearing, I only have a 83T spur at the moment. Anyone running this help? Thanks

I'd start with a 14 and see where you need to go,might need a bigger spur gear because i tryed a 17/87 on mashers in a T3 with my 5700 on 6 celled NIMH and it was fast but slow on the takeoff. Now running a 14/87 on a T4 with stock sized tires and no problems

What im thinking to now, gets worse cause the smallest pinion I have is a 16, anxious to run it but its not looking good for right now. Thanks

So long as you run it in its parameters (up to 3s) it shouldn't thermal, at least castle couldn't get it to, it will just be sluggish at the start. Fair warning, it will be fast, so be careful. If it were me I'd get the biggest spur traxxas makes (I think its a 94) and gear it with a 16-18 tooth pinion
