Gearing Down

[turbine2]

One of the things I've noticed is that the standard gearing on my king hauler and scania is a little too high. Has anyone changed the gearing on their 3 speed? If so, what are the options?

Many thanks,

David

I run 55 turn motors and a 8 tooth or a 6 tooth pinion.

where did you get the smaller gear pinions from

What ESC do you use with that? I've got a TEU101BK in mine at the moment, would that do?

The TEU101BK will work just fine with a 55 turn motor, although you may get smoother throttle response with a more expensive ESC..

A 55 turn motor will only do approx 6000rpm @ 7.2Volts..

The best thing with the 55 turn is that your run times will be 2 - 3 times longer than what you got with the kit 540 motor..

I run a Carson truck puller motor in my Volvo.. a decent wedge of torque and 6500 RPM rev limit, a nice scale speed and can carry a lot of weight..

Well, I'll give the ones I've just bought off you a go and see how I do. :-)
