Another Big Savage

what batteries are you planning on running with this set up? what gearing did you set it up with? very cool project i like the looks of beefy. :) cant wait to see some video as well, if thats in the plans.

I have the same questions. :)

My idea is to run 6s with a 25T pinion and stock spur. Should still hit 60+mph with this setup.

My current DB17 is running stock motor, spur and pinion with non-bp diffs and high speed idler. This setup hits 50mph on 4s (53mph via gps, no crash). If my math is correct, it should be possible for me to hit 67mph on 6s with the 1580kv motor. Seems high to me, but the math works out.

Motor RPM drops down ~28%. I increase the pinion by 25% and up the voltage by 50%.

Am I making it to simple? I know wind, friction, and weight make a difference, but not enough to stop me from hitting 60mph.
