Brushless gearing for 10T w/Mamba Max & 5700kv motor

Quote

Post by Group B » Wed Jan 14, 2009 7:44 am

I just picked-up a Mamba Max & 5700kv motor combo for my 10T project/build, and wanted to know what I should use as a good starting point for gearing.

I will be running an RPM 2.65 conversion box with a T3 slipper clutch on it.

Thanks,

David

Here is the novak brushless gearing chart:

http://www.teamnovak.com/tech_info/brushless/br_gearing.html

The 5700kv motor is roughly between a 6.5 and 5.5 motor, so a 12.0 fdr would be a good starting point. Try 19/87 and go up or down from there (87/19) x 2.65 = 12.13

Old school racing all the way!

Hey everyone, so after trying out my car today with a lot of fresh and updated parts, the car just all of a sudden stopped dead and the LED's were all on solid, not flashing. What's that mean? Couldn't find anything on the Castle website.

Last post

Problem solved - I disconnected the ESC from the receiver and was able to reset everything. Weird.
Do you run an HG alloy diff gear? :P

Probably not since I don't know what that is! :lol:

I recently installed a Mamba Max 5700 into a Gold Pan RC10. I am experiencing what would be considered a glitch. On occasion when I press the throttle there is no response from the car. What am I doing wrong that would help correct this problem.

Last post

I think the OP is talking about a Mamba Max system which is sensorless, so they do cog occasionally. If there is actually no response at all when the throttle is depressed, I would run through the setup process for the esc. It almost sounds like the...

Okie, I have a 17.5 motor and a 5.5 motor, both Novak Brushless, the guys at RCHR are running 8.5 and 10.5, I know if I use the 5.5 it'll be too much to handle on the track on a 2wd T4.

Can the 5.5 be geared down? Enough to compare to atleast an...

You dont say if you are running LiPo or NiMh cells but...

There is a local guy over here in OZ that regularly runs a 3.5 or 4.5 motor in his B4, but he also only uses 4 or 5 cells depending on the track conditions..

Just a thought..

I am looking for a brushed motor gearing chart for my new truck. Couldn't find it in the PDF's AE has on their website for the 10T. Usually they have one in the instruction manual but couldn't find it.

Last post

Ryan, as a general rule, I drop 4 teeth on the pinion when going from modern trans (2.6) to the 2.25 stealth.

So if a T4.x gearing is 23/81, start with 19/81
