DEX 210 RTR standard gearing

[Boons]

Hi all

The car comes with an 81t spur and 29t pinion. to be fair I have only driven it up my street briefly before racing it indoor this Friday. It has reasonable punch off the line but the top end seems a little low. Does the gearing mentioned above indicate high acceleration coupled with a lower top end, or would this be typical of a 13.5t motor?

Thanks all

My rtr 210 is very slow in a straight line compared to the others im racing against. Around the corners and shorter sections its fine but on the straight I have to move to one side and let everyone past haha.. I have just taken delivery of a 9.5T motor (the lowest turn the stock esc can handle), and fitting it as we speak! So im going to see how it fairs now before messing around with gearing as spur gears and pinions cost what, around 8 each, New 9.5T speed passion motor from rcmart 26 delivered

Maybe there is someone at your race meet who can point you in the right direction with gearing as it is going to differ from track to track.

I have the 210 rtr and am just considering upgrading to a 9.5 turn motor, so how did you guys get on? And what advice can you give me?

What motor is best for this car/most powerful (as I assume not all 9.5 are the same) and what did you decide on for gearing in the end?

Cheers guys!

My RTR was dog slow in a straight line. I bought the SP 9.5t motor from rcmart and it makes a substantial difference to the straight line speed, I had to completely rebalance the car by moving the battery (shorty) as far forward as possible and adding some weight to stop it wheeling and almost flipping over.

Took it to a large astro track a couple of weeks ago and it was a totally different proposition on the track, more more competitive and still rode the bumps nicely balanced. I was doing ok until the RTR servo died for no reason and I didnt have a spare, now swapped to a savox low profile.

I'm still running the stock RTR gearing.

Get yourself a bag of pinions from hobbyking or similar (21 thro 26 maybe). I pay a couple of dollars each for them, so I add a couple to most orders I make. Brings the shipping weight up to the limit nicely!
Get a couple of spurs (one bigger than stock, one smaller) and you should be set for the next year's racing and a couple or three different motors.

So is this the motor I should go for?...

I'll order a few pinions while I'm at it too!
