Gearing an ERBE for racing on 4s

[E-Revonut]

There is a lot more to gearing for racing than just gear for 40MPH!!! When I started racing this spring I found that out in a hurry! I started out geared for 39MPH but when I chewed up my pinion I had to gear down a bit because it's all I had available. I wound up running faster laps with it geared between 34-35MPH. I couldn't blow away the nitros on the straight anymore but the power was much more useable and was still faster than any nitro on the straight. Your gearing will depend alot on your track. Also remeber that lower gearing will pull less amps under acceleration and give you a little extra juice for the longer mains. Gearing up and turning your end point down will lower your speed but pull higher amps on acceleration.
