I'm building a pre-runner type truck from an element trailrunner chassis using a 3000kv motor. The low gearing of the platform though (stock spur gear) means it's not particularly fast.
In fact, the great calc app reckons I'm only getting ~8.5mph.
Now, I don't need this thing to fly but I was thinking maybe ~12mph would be a decent speed for it.
Easiest trick would be to pinion up but the largest opinion I can get in there is only 22T. So, I ordered a smaller spur gear (72T) that should allow me to use a 24T pinion if I want. This would give ~14mph which would be great.
Only issue then becomes motor temp.... At nearly twice the speed I fear I'll cook something.
Has anyone else geared up their Enduro for a bit more speed? What motor/spur/pinion did you settle on?
