S2 GEARING

[Wacker1]

Hi all,

I was running an LRP Vector Bonded 6.5T Motor on an 81 Spur Gear & a 22 Pinion, which seemed to work well.
I've recently upgraded to the NEW Orion 2008 Spec Vortex Sintered 6.5T Motor, which I tried my existing 81/22 Gearing, but seemed to rev-out early on the main straight of Tracks. I managed to find a Team Orion Gear Ratio Chart(eventhough I think it was for the Ver1 Motors), which said I should be on a 81,19........I ended up trying this but found it was even worse, as it was far too punchy & had nothing on the straights. I have been running on a 81/23 ever since, which seems to have improved it slightly, but I feel that its still revving out too early, I just wondered if anyone else out there is having difficulties on getting the Gearing right with their 2008 Vortex 6.5T Motor? I was tempted to try a 24 Pinion.

Cheers
