Gearing Help
 

:027: Im in need help with the gearing on my maxx

im running the onfa 51 tooth spur. 6s lipos, 1950/8 look for a middle of the range speed/runtime/acceleration gearing.

Any help would be great ?

Thanks

Also i forgot to mention if has hotbodies diff's front and rear

If you have the 3.31 hotbodies diffs. I would run a 15 or 16. If you ahve the 4.3 diffs have to step up some. 19 or 20 tooth pinion.

6S lipo.. that thing will fly!! what lipo's are you using? And what controller?

5,000mAh Flightpower Evo20's i think, have you seen the specs on these......

I brought a 24/160 from mike, so that so be good, i really like this controller.

I was thinking of running a pair of 6s wired to give 10,000mAh but i dont know if the weight will be an issue, if so ill go with a pair of 3s wired into 6s

heres a pic of the truck.

Nice looking truck man. I love the UE arms. Like CHC said, it depends on the diffs. Use as suggested. If you use two 6s, it will be heavier. i run 5s in mine with 8000 mah, weighs 11lbs exactly. i have the carbon top plates though. I like your front top plate..looks very nice!

I have a setup alot like yours. Mine has the alum chassis, 1950/7, 2 3s 8000mAh batteries, setback rear arms and 21/66 gearing (that would be about 16/51 for your spur gear). Esc has a fan (MGM 160/24), no heatsink or fan on the motor and everything stays cool. I am thinking about gearing it up a little higher. I see you cut off the right servo mount on your top plate.
