Default Wich gearing?

Hi guys,

I was wondering what gearing I have to use for a brushless Novak GTB 5.5 Velocity set?

I will using this in my TRF501x with a AE 87t spur on a Astroturf track (Kampenhout).

thanks

With an LRP 5.5, I've been using a 17 pinion on the kit spur (96T I think) at Kampenhout. Most would consider this conserative, but I've found out BL motors don't like to be overgeared and it surely was fast enough compared to others.

I use 15/16 myself, not sure what your track is like. I know woody ran 18 on the NOSRAM with same setup and cooked it. he went to a 4.5 but 15t pinion and it was fine.

It's an astroturf track with high grip.

Is 17t pinion ok with my setup or better be safe and go 16 or 15?

Thanks

I run on an indoor dirt track with about a 90 foot straight and a huge quad. I am geared at 21/96 with a 5.5, and the temps are right at 165 on both esc and motor. In practic it was only temping 120 on both. But after my first race weekend I guess I was pushing it harder. I plan on droppong a tooth. Oh, and I am running the upgraded pulleys.
