Did you notice that it says to use a smaller pinion whether undergeared or overgeared?

Also, was it a coincidence that there were four MA packs next to the section about puffing? :-)

Very enjoyable read! Lots of great info.

Edit: asheck beat me to it

YAY editorial error! This is my text!

General rule of brushless gearing
Hot motor, Cool controller, cool batteries = Undergeared i.e. increase pinion size
Cool motor, Hot controller, hot batteries = Overgeared i.e. decrease pinion size
Warm motor, warm controller, warm batteries = happy components

I figured the more we get the message out correctly the better...

Figures, I guess I will have to pick it up and check for fatal errors...

Good to see that we have someone who is knowledgeable writing articles. I am guessing that you will be writing more? If you need any proofreading just let me know...

The article is 3 pages long.. It covers everything in a conversion from motor/esc and batteries to gearing and brakes. Mike does get some recognition in it.. They show his RC8T.. Overall it is good publicity for the world of brushless..
