Alright for the longest time I have been running my "speed slash" with a excelorin esc and 7500kv motor on 3s. The gearing being 16/86, I need help figuring out what gearing would be best without blowing everything up yet getting every bit of speed I can

go up 1 gear at a time and watch temps, go from there

The problem is I have no way to watch temps or what area I want to be in temp wise.

I ran a 6800kv motor in my Rustler for a while. On 3s I tried several different gearing options and the only one that let me run the whole battery without heat issues was 12/90. The motor eventually gave out due to being overheated so often.

What speeds were you looking at?

I never clocked it, but it was completely insane. I am not sure I was ever able to reach full throttle.

I'll have to try it, our hobby shop has a speed run comp and I want to try to be the fastest slash there.
