That just confuses people saying things like numerically higher or lower; why not just say taller gearing or lower gearing, as in gearing up and gearing down, or using a larger pinion or smaller pinion. Plain english = less confusion ( to me atleast, bunch of geeks :na: ).

Well I am used to 1:1 cars so I use the terminology that is associated with them. You guys confuse me when you say “I’m running 87/17 in an XYZ”. To me that means nothing other than the ratio between the spur and pinion is 5.12:1 but it leaves out the rest of the gear reduction like the transmission or differential gearing. Like in a rock crawler where you might have a 3:1, in the diff a 5.12:1 for pinion and spur and a 2.72 for the transmission, which would be an overall ratio of 41.78:1. You RC guys are weird I guess.:tongue:

That's because for a specific vehicle, the tranny and diffs are constant, so only the spur/pinion need to be specified. If someone does do some custom tranny or diff work, then they specify. We're not weird, just lazy and don't want to type what we don't have to. :smile:

Brian - Effectively that is what the Novak Transcap does if i'm not mistaken...
http://www.shopatron.com/products/pr...ber=5685/135.0 Description This is a Power Trans-Cap Module for use in high-voltage applications with an input voltage range from 4S to 6S Li-Po. This module includes an 1,800µF power capacitor rated at 35V and includes two transorbs to reduce ESC temperatures and provide protection for the ESC. This module is factory wired with 4 inches of red and black 16-gauge silicone wire, and solders directly to the ESC’s positive and negative battery solder tabs. Module is rated for use with 4-6S Li-Po packs. Exceeding this input voltage will damage the module. |
So they gear like Ford then? :lol:

Kinda's ass you built one! Jeff |

Besides, on the Novak version, $18 is a little steep for 3 cheap devices IMO. That probably can be assembled for under $5, and that's not even counting bulk ordering. |
You forgot that the 18bucks covers marketing, packaging and what not. Not everybody is capable of building one, less where to begin. For those people 18 bucks is a bargain.
|
I suppose, but it's really no more difficult than wiring up battery connectors and wiring.

And judging by the bad solder jobs I see on here I would say that most would be better off buying the premade items.
For the BEC I am building it cost me $7 for 20 TVS's shipped, Didn't have to pay for the fuses since I needed them for a work project. Gotta love Swiss Navy Projects. Jeff |
Wow, Novak. I should start having them made with either 2 or 4 small caps (The last one would make Novak's knee buckle and wouldn't be near what Novak charges).
