Granby Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 OK thought i'd bring this thread back up to date, haven't really done much to the car as it hasn't been used for a good few weeks with all this crap weather But following on from what was suggested in Tings thread http://www.msuk-foru.../page__st__1545 i've changed the gearing to Mod 1 Already had a few Mod 1 pinions as they are used on my vorza so got a 40t spur from a nitro revo, all installed fine but the only problem i can see maybe the gearing as i've fitted a 20t pinion and the motor is almost against the hold down clamp for the ESC, if i wanted to fit a 19t pinion or even a 18t then i'm gonna have to mod the clamp so the motor can move over more Will be trying this gearing (was using 54/24 before with no problems) when i get a chance but will be checking the temps very closely and see how it goes, i'm not running big diameter tyres so it maybe OK but will be keeping a close eye on the temps Well managed to take mine out today and give it a test with the new gearing and locked rear diff on grass I can definitely say the locked rear diff makes no difference to the turning of the revo, does seem to pull away a bit better but no major difference apart from i can drift it a bit better now Done a few high speed runs on 4s to see what the temps would be like on 40/20 Mod1 gearing and everything seems ok, lipos were slightly warm as was the esc but the motor was cool (the fan on top probably helps lol), when i get another chance will try 5s and see again what temps are like, don't normally run 6s so that won't bother me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 nice granby, glad you finally got a chance to take the beast out, glad your gearing seems ok buddy! and yes i hardly ever run 6s anymore ive got new gears ordered i was running 58/22 but i want more top speed without having to spend out on extra money for expensive pinion i was going to run new 17/40 gearing but like you say you dont think it will fit so im just going to keep my 22t pinion and run 54t spur, so should have quite bit more top end with 54/22 ill just have to watch temps also tho did u get any vids? good luck for your 5s run granby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 No vids i'm afraid, just thought i've got a 54 spur i took out and is in perfect condition you could have unless you've already ordered one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 cool, and thank you granby all ready ordered now tho what were you running with your 54t spur granby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Was running 24/54, got 52mph on 5s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tingting44 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Was running 24/54, got 52mph on 5s nice mate so in theory i should get more top end with 22/54 right, im not the greatest when it comes to gearing Edited February 27, 2012 by Tingting44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yes you should, it won't accelerate quite so quickly but they are so fast off the line you probably wouldn't notice it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granby Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Well had another bash today (and no vids before you ask Ting lol) but only on tarmac, broke a couple of stub axles but that's cos i went into a curbs a few times, had a few spares anyway Don't know if its cos i haven't used the revo in a while but it seemed very fast today, it also seemed a lot smoother and picked up better than before so maybe the adjustment of the slipper i did when i changed the gearing made a big difference Did a speed test with the new mod1 gearing and got 53mph on 5s which is only 1mph more than last time with the old gearing, but i was running out of straight road quickly so i think theres a bit more in it if i can find a long enough disused bit of road 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granby Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Also didn't have any problems with temps on the new mod1 gearing (20/40), lipos (turnigy nano-tech 6000mah 25-50C) were slightly warm, motor (castle 2200kv) was warm but you could keep your fingers on it and the ESC (Mamba monster) was mildly warm and never noticed the fan coming on at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granby Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 (edited) Yes you are Ting Yeah running the phaltlines, got a slight wobble on the front only now which i can't seem to get rid off at the moment With the old gearing it was getting to the top speed quicker and virtually flat out past the speed gun, with the mod1 gearing which as you say is stronger it seemed to be still accelerating while going past the speed gun so as said i need to find a longer bit of road Edited March 11, 2012 by Granby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
