Hi,
Having some problems gearing my touring car , I run a cyclone TC which has a internal of 2.16 , im running a speed passion 13.5 brushless motor with a speed passion GT2.0 LPF ESC , for the track i race at i want to be around 4.7-5 FDR , Currently i use 48dp gears due to the track been outside to avoid stripping etc (cyclone's use 64dp as standard)
Now i use a 78t spur and a 33t pinion which brings me out at 5.11 FDR but my motor is extremely hot after a 5minute race (cant hold thumb on it for more than 2 seconds)
To reduce motor temps do i have to go smaller on the spur and smaller on the pinion but still achieving a FDR of 5 , for example 70t spur + 30t pinion , will this lower my temps ?? will this still give me the same top speed ?? wud this even mesh ??
Thanks for any help
PS this is on rubber tyres too
