Pinions On RB5

[burton]

Just wondering if you can use long pinions and also what sort of gearing for a 6.5 BL.

Thanks

You really need to be specific on motor make/model and rotor type/size.

Nosram 6.5 Bonded

21 is my usual starting point with an Orion 6.5 motor.

Could I use the long pinion and turn it around? Do you just stick with the 78 spur

[RSharpy]

It should fit ok, yep I run a 78 kit spur

Do you know if Kimbough and Superlite fit?

Whilst we are on gearing an RB5 - suggestion for a LRP 10.5 (i know Im a wimp!) Should have got a 6.5! Using Lipos...

Cant see flipping the pinion being a problem. Dont know about the spurs though..

as its a bonded gear down 3 teeth from what a sintered motor would run , i run a 21 so start at a 18 tooth as the bonded rotor doesnt have the grunt of the sintered so you gear it low and alow it to rev.

no idea for a 10.5 im afraid as have never gone that low in a buggy

I run a 24 / 78 on my Novak 10.5.
It is indoors on a small track, which has a carpet and wooden floor mix.

LOL! Thats because you can drive! I havent done buggy for about 15yrs now. I kept reckoning on 10 but realised then another 4 - 5 yrs had passed by!
