Axial Capra gearing and overdrive cheat sheet

[GeorgeNada]

The title says it all.

Axle diff gears 8/30 = 3.75:1
Ring and pinion O.D. 8/27 = 3.38:1
Portal gears 12/23 = 1.92:1
TGH O.D. portal gears 15/20 = 1.33:1
Hot Racing O.D. Portal gears 13/22 = 1.69:1
Total axle ratio 7.2:1
TGH Portal overdriven axle ratio 5:1
H.R. Portal overdriven axle ratio 6.35:1
Ring and pinion overdriven axle ratio 6.48:1
Both (TGH) overdriven axle ratio 4.49:1
Both (H.R.) overdriven axle ratio 5.71:1

TGH portal OD percentage 36%
HR portal OD percentage 13%
Ring and pinion OD percentage 10.5%
Both (TGH) OD percentage 46%
Both (HR) OD percentage 23%
TGH OD front, ring and pinion OD rear total OD percentage 26%
HR OD front, ring and pinion OD rear total OD percentage 2%
TGH OD front HR OD rear total OD percentage 24%

Internal transmission gears 30/54 = 1.8:1
Ratio before pinion selection 12.96:1
Spur 34t pinion 17t = 2:1 total= 25.92:1
34/16= 2.13;1 = 27.6:1
34/15= 2.27 = 29.42:1
34/14 = 2.43:1 = 31.49:1
34/13= 2.62:1 = 33.96:1
34/12= 2.83:1 = 36.59:1
34/11 = 3.09:1 = 40.05:1
34/10 = 3.4:1 = 44.06:1
34/9= 3.78:1 = 48.99:1

Final drive ratios are based on stock axle gearing

Thanks for that, it's very handy actually having all the numbers in one place!

 

[GeorgeNada]

Yeah, I do this with all of my rigs, this was just the only one I didn't see a chart made for on here yet. Glad I could help!

 

[VelocityRC]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you for your time doing that.

I know it came out after you made your "cheat sheet" but it should be included on this page:

Vanquish AR44 Underdrive ring & pinion (VPS08331) is 33/8 or 4.125:1

Axial advertises a 7.39:1 axle ratio, but the above numbers look correct to me. I wonder how they are getting that lower gear ratio?

This is great stuff here!

Thanks for putting this together. Subscribing for future reference.

Is it worth underdriving both axles to lower the ratio? Then overdrive the front portals?

 

[meatmonkey]

If your already running an 11 or 10 tooth pinion and still want more gear reduction it would be worthwhile to put the Vanquish UD gears in the back axle. I don't see the benefit to lowering the front ring/pinion ratio to then just increase it at the portal.

I started with a 10 tooth pinion, then put the UD ring/pinion in the back. Looking for a bit more OD percentage I eventually put in the mild SSD portal gears up front. Now it's in the sweet spot for my usage, mostly crawling atop stone walls.
