jake1*2011 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 hello im back for more gearing advice! i bought a blaze 2750kv 1/8 motpr for my losi 8 truggy a couple of weeks back and since ive been getting a little confused with the gearing. i ran the motor on 15/45 and the truggy flies, the motor temps were around 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldblades7 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Spur makes less difference than changing the pinion, plus is more expensive. I think the problem is you have the wrong KV motor.....lower KV would be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideneil Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 What he said^. If running on 4s lipo, more like ~2000-2300kv would be much better, ~2700kv is better suited to a buggy ( on maybe 3s at that.... ). I'm impressed that 1 tooth on the pinion made such a difference in temps though, usually you need to go up or down 2 or 3 to see a real large jump or drop in temps. 1 tooth on the spur won't make any difference at all though- seems like there may be another cause to the sudden change in temps ( driving style, ambient temps, surface conditions/traction etc )...
