X5 Help!

[Extreme]

Just about to order my X5 and was wondering what spur gear to use as i run a checkpoint 10x2, having read various posts it seems people are using the larger spurs for getting better gearing?

any advice greatly appreciated

thanks

The larger spur gears were really introduced for brushless motors, which just run better with really low ratios (11:1, 12:1 kind of ratios). The stock spur in the kit is the 104, and that should be a great starting point with a 10 turn motor. Here in the US I'd recommend a 17 tooth pinion with a 10 turn, but due to the different tires and surfaces (assuming you're in the UK) I'd really recommend whatever the other guys say.

hi there
on a std spur and a 10 wind brushed i would say around 16-18 depending on track and conditions

Think I only ever ran brushed once in the car but I reckon the 18 tooth for the 10.

Thanks for the advice guys

have ordered 106/108 spur gears as well for the car what pinion/ spur gear is going to be the best combination on the 10x2?
