Default RE: Official E-FIRESTORM thread


ORIGINAL: EnglishSamuraii

My firestorm has good acceleration with the 4600kv motor, but it is limited at the top end. What gearing would you guys recommend to give it more speed, but not so its running mega hot? Also what type of pinion gear would I need as Ive seen different type like DP etc?
Any help would be appreciated
The stock pinion is good for off-road and you can go up to a 21t for a mix of on road and off but you need to check temps often with a temp gauge. Could go a 24t for just doing a speed run on pavement
