RC-Monster Forums - View Single Post - CC Motors on sale! What gearing and cell count for CC 1518 1y 1800kv

def did not, thanks! Very helpful (and detailed!) calculator.

So If I want to gear for 45 on 4s I am looking at 19/36 gears
46mph on 6s comes out to 13/36 gears

Quite a jump in gearing to maintain the same mph when adding an extra 7.4v to the equation!

I was planning on running turnigy packs 3s 5000 25c
or turnigy 2s 5200 30c
or turnigy 2s 5800 25c

I am still thinking two 2s and two 3s would be the best bet. That way I can get a little higher capacity on the 2s packs for a cheaper price but then have the 3s packs for speed runs.

I have heard the 1800kv motor really puts out some torque so maybe 2x 2s would help save the poor revo diffs from turning into powder sooner than needed.
