4s 8xl rustler, gearing????
 

What speed should I gear my 4s 8xl rustler for? what amp rating battery will I need?

299 792 458 m / s

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Seriously, how fast do you WANT to gear it for??? :surprised:

I'd go for a battery with a solid 100A continuous rating.

Yeah, a 3700 25C Lipo would do good...
what about 24/51 gearing... that's what I was using with a 7XL on 4S....

I've a mod1 46 tooth spur, biggest that can fit

My buddy just put his VXL stampede back together with a 7XL and BK9920 or 5S. He hasn't drove it yet, but we have no idea what gearing to put on it. He wants 70+ is all he said....

man..7XL is just crazy power for them small 10th scales... an L motor can take them to 70MPH... why don't you guys use the BrianG super calculator..:intello:

4s 3700 sounds good. You could go bigger to a fp 4900 4s. Weight should not be an issue with an 8xl.

I would put a 40t revo spur on and use an 18t mod1 pinion. That will get you to about 60mph with stock height tires. Sounds like fun!

thats a lot of motor for a Rustler, I have a 9L in my Rustler with a True RC 15c 4s 5000mah lipo. Geared with a jato 54 tooth spur and a 15 tooth 32 pitch pinion and that has all the power you need, anymore and it would be too out of control

What kind of spur is it? The biggest I found to mate with that slipper is the 40t revo gear. That said I haven't looked further than my spares box :P I did a quick search on tower and all the other spurs for that slipper and 32p for the jato and tmaxx...

monster gt 46 tooth spur, just barely clears driveshafts

Is there any kind of mod that needs doing to fit the monster gt spur on? I'm assuming your using the 3 bolt style revo slipper on the rustler...

We setup my friends stampede with a 9l on 3s and it has all the power it needs. 4s would be crazy.

I will say its borderline crazy....:lol:, you need to have a lot of control with the throttle, you cant go WOT from the start, you need to have the truck rolling before you go WOT, I have had some nice cat walks, I have put some fishing weights in the nose and that has helped in keeping the nose down and make the Rustler a bit more stable

Its a direct fit on the old style slipper, which is what I use. With slight modding (drilling out some holes) it can be used on a revo spec slipper
