Cougar SV change inner gears?
 

Hi,
I run my cougar with the standard inner gears.. and with pinion 25 and spur 80.
I drive with a Nosram pure evolution 7,5turns.

But my motor is always getting too hot...
What do i have to change ?

thx

could be geared too high. from the sounds of a 8.26 FDR that's probably it... try a 23 pinion and see how that goes.

what sort of track is that on? indoor/outdoor?

I ran 8.45 FDR in the cat on sunday at kiddy without any temp problems, but it was really cold outside

Ok I will try this..
It is an indoor track.

grtz

Your gearing is way too high. I run a 7.5 also at a indoor track. 20 pinion and 82 spur....its a bullet and the temps never get above 130-140

at chaleroi on the same track, 7.5 in my cougar was on 24/80 and was getting very warm. id recomend a 23/80 as a starting point for there next time ;)

Thank you Nathan, I will try this next time.
I will race also the 3th winter trophy. you also participate :) ?
Do you have a set-up for charleroi?

thanks

will send one to you in the next few days m8

In Charleroi i was running 28/76 with standard inner-gears.

However the motor was 8.5 Speed passion with LRP Stock Spec on program 7.

Indoor there will create more heat then running elswhere.

But what feels hot to the hand could be very reasonable to the temp-gun ;).
If you like you can always use mine next trophy in Charleroi.

@Nathan, could you send me your setup aswel please?
So i can see what to try next time.
