the 9l he has is more than enough power to push his savage if he gears it right and uses the propper batts

Will give it a try neil, and thanks bust....
Neil, I heard that you're quite the Fiegao expert after that spinning toaster of death.
If the motor is cool, and the MM is hot, I'm guessing, go up on the tooth count?

No, gear down. When the motor is hot, its over undergeared, when its cool, its over geared- the hot esc indicates over gearing too (this places more load on the motor so it pulls more amps, heating up the esc).

I stole that hot/cold thing off BrianG though- its on one of the stickies around here...

Awesome...
