Reedy Neo1 Motors and LRP Sphere

[Josh]

Hello,

I am new to the forums and first off just wanna say how great the entire oOple site is. The reviews and race coverage is awesome, especially for me because I live in the U.S. and I can really catch up with whats going on across the pond. Forums have a great layout also, love the colors/graphics.


Anyway on to why I am posting. I am new to Electric and had a couple of questions.I plan on running 2wd Mod buggy this fall and winter. I am going to run the B4 with a brushless lipo combo (supported at my track).

I received these items at a very good price.

LRP Sphere Competition ESC- New

Reedy Neo1 4 star- New

Reedy Neo1 1 star- Used


Now from what I have caught on from reading is that the 4* is a 5.5 turn brush-less, somewhere close to a 7 turn brushed. I understand this is to much motor for the 2wd mod class and is better suited in a 4 wheel drive car. Since I already have this motor new I was wonder if there is anyway I can limit it with the speed control to make it feel more like a 6.5 or 7.5 motor? Maybe even tame it a little with the gearing.

I also understand that the 1* may not quite be enough to be competitive in the Mod class and is better suited as something closer to stock?

I plan on running the Orion 4800 platinum lipo packs unless I find there is a different pack that is more recommended.

Any help I receive on any general information or and tips at all is greatly appreciated, since I am not very knowledgeable about the wiring/ pinions and gearing. Thanks in advance!
