Oh, and welcome to the forums!

I would try stock spur teeth which I think is 66t and around a 18-21t pinion. Thast what I ran my 8xl on and it ran only warm on 4s and your motor is the same kv and from what i hear power is about even.

Thanks Ben!

Thanks BrianG!

Thanks Ryan! (Yeah, I think you do know me.... )

That helps a bit, not much more info than I already had, but I will just mess with it and change around until I get speed, and good temps. And if I don't have insane torque, well thats why the E-Maxx came with a 2 speed tranny, for torque and speed!

Asheck did a standing backflip with that motor on 4s. I think you'll have sufficient torque.

Oh....... Once again, thank you, I know nothing about this brushless stuff .
