**MMM Combo question -** 01.05.2009, 04:10 AM

Hi all,

Picked up the 2200kv MMM Combo from Tower hobbies last week. Couldn't go past the price lol. $299USD less $50USD with a voucher they'd spammed me with sealed the deal.

Anyway, just a question with regard to the included 19T pinion. They say the 2200kv motor is recommend for 6S. Wouldn't the 19T pinion make the gearing WAY too high?

Bigger pinion = higher top speed/lower acceleration correct? At 2200kv, I would have thought that the pinion was too large, and in order to keep the heat and amp draw down, something like a 13-14t pinion would be required?

22.2v x 2200kv = 48840 unloaded RPM.

Anyway, was just wondering because I have a 1600kv 80mm Medusa on backorder, and all the advice I got given was that the 1600kv was the best on 6S, and that 2200kv would cause rather high amp draw and extra heat.
