Gearing Q's..

[JBradshaw00]

OK, If I want more accel. I go down on CB? right?
Do I also go down On the spurr gear? or should I leave the spurr at 72 and go down with clutchbell?

 

[JBradshaw00]

how much difference would 19/70 make?

 

[JBradshaw00]

Ok, I'm all confused..haha

what would be the best gearing?? I want good bottom and I dont want to give up all my top end..

 

[Diver6127]

What r/c are you looking to change the gearing on?

 

[Tarant]

their is no best gearing, if you are racing on a small tight track go for more acc. if you are racing on a large track go for more top speed.

You will just have to try out other gearing I use stockCB and 70 tooth spur great top end I have a good aftermarket pipe so my bottom end is good also

Its all a matter of preference, if you want more bottom end you have no chioce but to loose some highend. Its finding the right balance for your driving style/track. Yes going down on CB and UP on spur will give you better low end, and higher CB and DOWN on spur will give you more high end. The closer your CB gets to the Spur in number of teeth the higher the top speed, but less torque, becareful not to overhear your enigne too.

on a tmaxx 2.5


i think I'm going to just go down a tooth on the CB.

 

[SMaxxin]

I run 18/72 and get great low end and still have a good top end.

 

[JBradshaw00]

who sales an 18th. CB?

 

[SMaxxin]

I use a racers edge vented 18t. I got it on ebay from RCBOYZ. I think it was $10 or 12 dollars. This is the only one I could find at the time

you can try a sirio pipe pushed up all the way on the header. (I saw a world of difference with mine) (3.55 sec. in the quarter with my setup.)

 

[JBradshaw00]

I have a traxxas aluminum tuned pipe, its good for right now..
