*** Tekin fxr 55t combo ***

[Cmace23]

I picked up a fxr 55t combo and I am wondering which spur and pinion to run thanks in advanced for any info

[DRV KRAWLER]

I would use the 87t spur factory and a 14t pinion. unless you want a little more wheel speed go with a 16t pinion. Thats my .02 for what it is worth.

Ditto

Good deal thanks guys

[Cmace23]

Ok well I installed the fx-r esc with the 55t. I like how smooth everything is but I think I want just a little bit more wheel speed. Is 16 the biggest pinion I can run with out getting anything to hot? I've only had one other eclectic Rc usually run 1/5 scales.

[Frankenwheely]

What's your battery setup? That can give you some more wheel speed without changing the spur pinion combo.

[Cmace23]

As of now I run a 1500 2s lipo thinking of going to a 3s if it can handle it safely

[Frankenwheely]

3s will give you that wheel speed. Just get a castle creations external bec and you will be good.

Allready got it hook it up without the red wire in the rx wire right?

I disagree with the findings thus far. Here are my happy settings.

35T motor - 16T pinion - 87T spur - 3S battery

45T motor - 18T pinion - 86T spur - 3S battery

65T motor - 20T pinion - 86T spur - 3S battery

I prefer a good handwound motor so I can get the lowend torque and control...but I will not sacrifice my top end. The 65T motor I was using was just a lathe motor from RC4WD, and it did ok as long as I had a good size pinion gear on it.

Yep.

[Cmace23]

Good deal thanks guys

[Cmace23]

I want more wheel speed what is the fastest pinion I can run? I have a 16t pinion stock tooth spur stock tranny gears 3s lipo as of now

[DRV KRAWLER]

How about changing to 35t HH Motor !

[Cmace23]

Tekin 55t

As Casey posted you could go to a 18t or even 20t pinion. you will start to lose bottom end torque. The only other thing would be a higher rpm capable motor. 55t are great bottom end grunt motors.

damnit. i thought this was a give away...



55t machine wound? 87/20 on 3s is fun, but I'm a fan of wheelspeed, so i'd go 35 turn motor oon 87/20 gearing...

[CRAIGB]

HH 35T torque master 540 pro is a beast! Plenty of wheel speed and torque. I use the 14 p and 87 spur. Overdrive front gears and under geared the rear. If I reverse and stab in forward it pulls front end off ground 3-4 inches and if I go forward and stab in reverse it will about flip over. I run 9.5 oz in ea front wheel and 3.5 oz in each rear and still has plenty of motor.

[Cmace23]

U guys think I can run a 18t pinion 87t spur with the tekin 55t on 2s now but will be making the swith to 3s soon

[DRV KRAWLER]

If you are looking to turn those wheels fast it is the way to go. I think at first you will have many emotions .
