Thanks Brian! What troubles do you have to go through to change that compatability? You're da man!

[BrianG]

It wasn't really a big deal once I figured out why it wasn't working. More details are in the release notes (on main page) if interested...

Great info

SO many choiuces in Batteries and motors it's hard to figure out what battery amperage to use with what motor , esc setup
Still trying to figure it out
I'll have to finish reading this later, hopefully I will find the answer in here

I was wrong, the Matrix TR ratio is 11/38

I beleive the buggy is 9/26


edit- why does the Slipperential have its own ratio?

Both the Buggy and the TR use both the 11/38 and the 9/26. I'm not sure which gets which ratio diffs but depending if its the RTR version or the FTE both the buggy and the truggy come with differant ratio gears. One or the other of those 2 ratios.

...and to make it even more confusing I think they are opposite ratios for the buggy and the TR. For example the RTR buggy has the same ratio and the FTE truggy and the FTE buggy has the same ratio as the RTR truggy.

The FRE (i have one) has the 11/38, so this leads me to beleive that the RTR's run 9/26..

Way too confusing

Hey Brian, found something you need to fix

Anyways, it is the LST 1st gear (low range). You have the primary reduction listed as 70/18, that is actually the 1st gear ratio of the 2speed on the outside of the tranny.

The correct ratio is 30/15, coupled with the bevel output ratio of 30/15 you get 4 to 1 reduction when the tranny is in low range.

Just figured that I would point that out... Thanks for the great tool again, I use it daily! (that sounded questionable)

Any chance you could add mod 1.5 to the gear diameter calculator. It would be handy with figuring stuff out for the baja 5b and 5t.

the first version of the slipperential was multi-geared (like a tranny) and built for maxx based trucks. disregard that ratio for the current version of the slipperential

[Gee]

Just wanted to say thanks Brian. Been a little while since I've been to the speed estimator part and just saw the little gear icon by the speed. Clicked on it and wow! That is cool! Nice work once again.

[BrianG]

lol, thanks!

Which reminds me; Hopefully sometime this week, I plan on compiling a list of changes to add. So if anyone wants something specific, now is the time to ask! And if you want a ratio added, please provide the exact tooth counts...

The diff gears in a Hot Bodies D8 is 43/10 (typical truggy ratio). It may be useful to some people, because I really messed up on my motor choice and gearing because I assumed it had a normal buggy ratio.

when I click on the link on the first page it always has to redirect me to the current version. Those 4 seconds before I click on the link suck. Can you update that link?

No way! It's fun to have people waste those precious 4 seconds.
