Today I had another test run, still on 16/66. But this time I kept it in 2nd.
Did a few laps on my small tack, some speed runs on asphalt and some bashing in the wood.
And indeed, (surprisingly for me) the temps stayed a fair bit lower.
Unfortunately I left the IR temp thingy ar home:o But I got quite good at the finger test:)

So I reckon this would be a sign for undergearing, then? At least in first gear.

I also finally had a close look at the final gear ratios. Please correct me when I'm wrong.

16/66 > 1:32.5 in 1st and 1:20.2 for 2nd
18/66 > 1:28.9 / 1:17.9

16/72 1:35.5 / 1:22.0
18/72 1:31.5 / 1:19.6

Okay, so assuming 1:32 is too low, what would be ideal?
You know my setup, but feel free to ask if yo want to know something specific.
I just weighted the Revoxx again, full RTR, and it's almost exactly 4.5kg (9 pounds)

What would you suggest for a safe gearing? Is the 18/66 with its 1:17.9 already too high for off-road bashing?

It would be great if I could use the 1rd gear without worries, but it should also be safe to stay in 2nd for a whole pack.
Am I asking too much, or do you think this should be possible.
I take it most of you guys drive your BL G-Maxxes mainly in one gear, right?
