ESC is dead time for Brushless setup

[dodge12vcummins]

well went out with my buddy and my esc took a dump on me so I took out my MMP with Novak 18.5t brushless motor out of my lnc and was going to install it in my scx10 but was wanting to know how i should gear it. i have a 80t spur and a 20t pinion will that work fine i also have a 15t pinion gear well any info will help thanks

Try the 20 if it builds heat try the 15. I think you'll be ok with that 18.5 though.

cool will do well i let you know how it goes thanks

I just got done putting in the brushless setup talk about a torque monster but still have yet to take it out on the trails and see if that 20t pinion is going to work without any heat issues. if anyone else is running a brushless setup can you let me know what setup your running thanks.

hey guys i ran my setup today and the motor got a lil warm after about 5mins what would be a good spur/pinon gear setup ? ill be runnning the MMP on 2s and 3s with the novak 18.5 brushless my current gearing is a 80t spur and a 20t pinion but gets a lil warm like i said. I'm new to this gearing stuff so dont be to harsh

[dodge12vcummins]

anyone with info it would be much appreciated. I need to order the right stuff so i can go hit the trails

Running a 17.5 novak ss and tekin rs on 54/14 32p gearing on 3s. It gets warm if I'm on it alot, but normal crawling/trail running is all good.

how long do you usually run it before u let it cool down and how is the wheel speed/torque with that setup ? might just try the same

[Meatwad]

I don't allow for any cool downs. Wheelspeed is decent enough, not a racer though. Torque is great, can't complain.

Well I had a 15t pinion to try but it would not reach the teeth on the spur so just might order some new pinion gears I think a 17t will work

[Meatwad]

32p or 48p?

[dodge12vcummins]

it is a 48p i bought the scx10 as a roller so the spur is not stock but i'm pretty sure its a 48p i think it might be a stock wraith spur

[freak696]

im running stock gearing on my scx10 and its heavy with a novak ballistic goat esc and a 18.5 with a 3 cell and run it for 5 hrs while at big gtg and never have a heat issue my batt dies before it heats up all the way but if were doing some silly racing while waitning for the group it will heat up in about 10mins

thanks for all the info got the gears i needed thanks again everyone
