Help - Durga 27T Motor Gearing?

[fresibaresi]

Can someone recommend a good starting point for the gearing in my new Durga?

I am running 3200 Lipos with a 27T stock motor. I have tried a few different pinions but the motor always ends up red hot after a run. What pinion should I be running?

i have 17 and 91

front dyf 36

rear dyf 37

good seeting for sand track

ups but i have LRP 4.5 motor

Is it the kit motor or a proper one? Start at 19T and go down a tooth at a time if it keeps getting too hot. If its the kit motor use the smaller of the pinions in the kit.

Its not the kit motor. Its a Trinity Green Monster 27 turn.

I don't know if stock motors are up to par with loading from 4WD vehicles...

Overgearing is often the cause of motor overheating, but sometimes undergearing can cause the same if you constantly throttle it at max...

Trying using a mild machine-wound 13T or 15T motor. They cost about the same as the Trinity Monster 27T stock or cheaper...

The Trinity Monster 27T is an EXCELLENT stock motor in a 2WD. I just think it's powerful enough to drive a 4WD with the extra loading and the weight...
