I'm like macr0w,

I have 9t through 24t mod1 pinions. I like having options (heat kills)

and sometimes your buddies need one so it nice to have some for others just incase..

Could you guys who have offered up pinion suggestions for the X6 with a 2000KV motor aslo tell me your motor temps. I've run 17, 16 & 15 on my Medusa 36-60-2Kv with 5 S & temps are on the high side (150-170) after 10 to 15 minutes track time. I was going to try 14 next. Did I start way too high for 5S?

Have you run the 9T much? I find that anything below 12T seems to wear faster. Makes sense since it sees more revs for a given speed, but wondering if the tooth angle has anything to do with it. Tooth counts that low tend to "fan out" more than the higher counts...
