Default What Gearing for my ERBE

Hey guys so as of now i'm using 4s and my E-revo, and it'll do a standing backflips ON 4s, Too much torque, and it only will do 37 MPH, and i have the xerun system with the 2000kv motor and my current gearing is 17/52, And my motor temps or low, highest i've seen is probly 120F, so i'm thinking of going with a 19t pinion. So my ? is, is how much more speed will i get with just a 2t raise. cause i would like to get 40-45 MPH and not have heat issues. So tell me what's would be a good gearing #

You should see it top out at around 43-45mph with a 19 tooth pinion. Keep an eye on your temps.

I get 40 mph on mine with 4s and 18/54 gearing.  No heat issues with it on that setup.

Yeah i know. at the time of me buying the set i didn't think 200kv would be that big of a diff. but now i just have to gear it higher. to get like 65MPH i'm gonna have to throw in a 26-28T pinion or something.around there to get it. I'm also going to have to play with the gearing too see if the temps are high or not

My MT4 G3 has a 2000kv motor in it. Different setup, has a center diff, not a slipper clutch/transmission.

I run 14/50 on that with 4s, gets me about 45 mph. Temps are very reasonable.

O sweet now i have at least an idea to go on. Btw do you think that the MT4 G3 could be race worthy with some mods and what not. cause now I'm looking for something that's fast and all handling. something like a truggy like that trophy truggy flux that HPI makes. but that isn't crap
