norcoforever Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) After trawling the internet I didn't really get anywhere so would try here I have a brushless baja running castle 2028 800kv motor and max 5 esc on 8s. So far I am geared 57/14 and have no temp issues at all. Pinion for these are a bit pricey so I can't afford to try lots of different gearing options. Does anyone know if 16/57 would work without stressing anything out too much. Side note I will be adding a blower for the motor before upping the gearing any advice or experience appreciated Edited September 5, 2017 by norcoforever Title incorrect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 As long as your current temps are low, moving up 2 teeth shouldn't be a problem really. I'm far from an expert on the big electric stuff, but 2 teeth really isn't much. Chances are you won't see a huge difference in speed anyway.

.AJ. Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Oh and that was with buggy wheels, you might want to think twice if you run larger Truck wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naymo Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I have a baja buggy with Toro 200a/780kv and used 14t, moved up to 15t no real difference still fast enough, then moved onto 18t and everything was cool. Only down side was running out of room too quick. But on next outing switched esc on and poof, it died[emoji20] looking at max6/5 next.Sent from my E5823 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
