gear ratio and motors

[vdubman]

im running a 55 turn motor and 87 spur gear and 14 pinion gear but it just seems to slow im just wondring what everyone else is running.

 

[ol dirty dirt]

running the goat with 12 and 89 metal gears still not slow enough but plenty of wheel speed when i need it, running a 2cell lipo also had it set up with 3cell 11.1 but was to much i dont like so much wheel speed........P III

im running a goat with a 18/87 stock. i can make it go so slow it would take 30 seconds to move an inch, and crazy wheel speed when needed.
i also run a rooster with a 14/87. also very slow, but not as much wheel speed. may try a 17 or 19 on it.

 

[bigflex]

really the only way to keep the needed torque and get wheelspeed would be to volt up or step up to a 35t or 45t motor. I like my stup alot. I ru n a 35t handwound with 9.6v and 16/87 gearing. What esc are you running? That will be a big deciding factor on what way to go."thumbsup"

I'm running 10 pinion and 93 spur-10 cell from holmes hobbies-12 volts sure wakes up a 55t motor! FX R esc. Matt

 

[mockknight]

how much voltage are you running?

I runn 14/87 w/ a 55t on 9.6v and it works pretty good, but I still want a lil more wheel speed........HHH 35T here i come

The cheapest way to get a little more wheel speed for now would be a slightly bigger pinion. The more teeth, the faster you go... but you loose a little torque and runtime. The next cheapest ways are to either buy bigger batteries (voltage) if your ESC can handle it, or a lower turn motor. Between a 35-45 as stated above. I wouldn't go down to a 35 turn unless it was handwound though."thumbsup"

i run a 55 turn motor, 87 spur gear and 20 pinion gear. its faster than the 14 pinion and still has lots of torque.

45t 17/87 2s 2200 mah lipo great wheel speed and about 40 min run time with excessive dig use and my BEC set at 6v."thumbsup"

 

[vdubman]

i decited to get a 45 turn motor so i can run 14/87 and for now i went with a 18/87 settup for my 55 turn to see how it runs. theres one spot i get hung up on at my local crawling spot that i just dont have enuf wheel speed. i do come in 2 to 4th everytime but that one hill gets me. i noticed the trucks that make it have more wheel speed than me.:roll: im running a novak crawler esc with a 1320 2s lipo

 

[hitman46mod]

That is why I will only run 3s from here on out. With 3s even a 75t motor has wheel speed. here is a vid of my current setup 45t 3s 1900 mah lipo RC4WD R2D II with a 13 tooth pinion ti's ratio is 53.9:1. An AX-10 with 14/87 gears has a ratio of 52.07:1 So the ratios will be very close. So you will see the
differance the pack will make.

for those of you running larger than stock pinions, what spurs are you running? I see robinson racing is coming out with a 48p 87t spur, does anyone else sell a steel or aluminum spur for the ax10?

 

[sbarnesvta]

I'm running a HH 30T Handwound, with a 15/87 gear set up, with a 3s 2200mah lipo set up. and this thing is fast, a little too fast. I have it limited in the radio to about 55% forward speed. I am probably going to be going down to a 13t Pinion, for a little more torque.

Axial tranny 93 spur 12t pinion 55t 8cell split pack"thumbsup"

 

[TRA3905]

what spur is a direct fit for the axial tranny? I can't seem to find any other "DP" pinions other than the stock 14t so I am switching to a 48p spur and a 16t pinion.

and does anyone make a steel spur 87t?
