How to convert 1/10 motor kv to 1/8 motor? -
04.16.2009, 02:27 AM
Need help if possible, I m using a novak brushless final gear ratio guide. It tells me if my 1/10 cars are under or over gear. I Like to apply to my 1/8 electric cars. But the motors in the guide comes in 3.5,4.5,5.5 n so on. The kv of the motors are alot higher too.
Is there a way to convert the 1/10 motor's kv to 1/8? Hope it's not too confusing:) Hobbywing ManiaRc Acorn racing UpgradeRc Blackbeard RC Team Hong Nor Team RC Monster MoosRacing BocaBearings SweepRacing Tresrey USA |

There is really no way to convert, KV is KV. what are you trying to gear? whats the setup?
People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise |

what the novak guide was really telling you is not to gear for too high of a speed. 1/8 scale cars rarely need to be geared for more than 40mph. Use BrianG's speed calculator to match your kv, gearing and tire size to your vehicle and desired top speed.
