Single Speed Gearing

[rustnpede]

I have a single speed on a stock chassis and want to run the 9920 with a 8xl on 5s. I tinkerd with the "motor selector" and "Random Parameter Solver" and found that an 8xl with 5s and 18/54 gearing is "good" for a for a top speed of +/- 40mph, 20/54 for 45mph and 22/54 for 50mph without any overheating warnings.
Does this sound about right to you guys?

what pitch? 32?

[coolhandcountry]

It sounds like you got some short tires. It sounds right though depending on tire
height.

[GorillaMaxx360]

It sounds about right but maby + or - depending on the weight and tire size

Yeah I figured 32p but the calculators did not have an option to select what pitch.

Yeah right now I have maxx mashers (not 40's).

Here are the variables I entered:
Enter approximate vehicle weight: 12 lbs (is this abought right)
Enter the differential gear ratio: 2.846... Revo
Enter the transmission gear ratio: 1.722... E-Maxx 2nd gear
Enter the battery voltage you plan to use: 18.5 5cells 3.7/cell
Enter tire diameter in inches:5.5

where can you get a 54th 32 pitch spur? I thought they were mod 1 when they went that low..lmk

Actually, I have some of these spurs I believe...Not sure, but I think there for the Nitro Hawk...

Is 12lbs a good estimate for thw weight of a BL Revo with a stock chassis?

[BrianG]

12lbs is definitely a safe figure. Mine weighs less than 11lbs with 14 GP cells. My first version (using the emaxx tranny) weighed something like 13 lbs IIRC.

I was close...

[BrianG]

When I said "Jato", I was assuming a gear that was compatible with the Revo slipper (with no mods)...

[rustnpede]

Cool! I think im all set to make my final purchases to complete my project. Oh, Im so excited! :D

Yeah, Nitro Hawk gears are the next smallest of the 32p spurs that traxxas makes that use pegs/diffballs.

Does the revo slipper fit the shaft on a e-maxx tranny?

[squeeforever]

No, it doesn't, but a adapter of sorts is on its way...
