I never really had a speed in mind with the 15T pinion it is way to much for the track I am gonna run on just heard that under gearing is a problem as well I clocked it with a GPS and a 17T Pinion at 45mph motor never got over 140

And where do I take the temp reading for the ESC cause it never seems to get over about 90 where I am taking the reading from and lipos although hard cased asre cool to the touch.

Was just trying to get a good mid point of punch and race track speeds not trying to break any speed records thats the next project with a buggy I think.
a 15-17t pinion will be just fine. it is harder to undergear these things than it is to overgear them, so don't be afraid to gear lower.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
