|  tekin pro4 gearing
Hi, i'm Angelo from Italy, enough far from you in U.SA.  but i read every day this forum and after some extreme crawling with my XR i decided to buy a wraith and i have to say that i 'm very satisfied with some little modifications..my friend order for me this combo : MMP with tekin pro4 3300kv.. my question is : what's a good gearing for this set up to have wheel speed and to be able to run some scaler/crawler courses? 14/56 could be..? now i run goat 3s, 18.5 ballistic( 12.5 rotor), 20t pinion on 3s thanks to all |

14/56 would be a good start, or even smaller on the pinion. If you are using 48p gears then I would suggest 14/80 for 3s use. You will have a hard time overheating the motor, you will have more worries about trashing the drivetrain.

i read also that tekin says that this motor needs a lot of amps and they suggest Rx8 but i think that ckecking temperatures there are no problems with MMP or not? MMP is rating for 100A continuous? | |

The MMP will be fine until you start going over 40mph. The motors are very amp hungry and low inductance, use a good battery. |

I run 14/56 32 pitch on my 3300kv Pro4 on 3s and am very happy with it.

Hi, I'm running 58/9 32p gears with my Castle 4 Pole 3800kv motor. It's so smooth it's hard to tell that it is not sensored. I use 3s and 4s lipo and it is tons of fun. 58t spur is from Jato and the pinion is a traxxas 9t 32p  I show the starting and slow drivin smootheness towards the end of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-iuN8m1KVY |

I run a 3s 2600mah 30c pack and can tell it wants more. Also run a 4s 1750mah 45c pack and it seems ok. So I'd say any thing that can deliver minimum 75 amps continuous. Last edited by skid; 10-27-2011 at 05:12 PM. | |

12/58 gearing for me with an RS Pro and 3s 2200 45c battery. Best setup so far. 14/56 was just a little too fast and didn't have the bottom end control that I like.

I have a MMP with a 3300Kv Pro 4. I'm running 14/56 on 2s and 3s. OMG this is too much fun.When running 2S I can hammer hard for a whole 5000Mah 40C pack and temps are running around 98* to 105*. Running 3s 5450Mah 50C adds around 20* to the temps.

13/56 32p is perfect for me. Awesome lowspeed/decent top end.

I just got some in for stock. I was actually quite surprised at how weak the cog force was. I didn't get a chance to check the magnets or airgap, but they are certainly free spinning compared to a Neu/ Castle four pole. If the magnets check out the same strength and the airgap is the same then the tooth shape will be the culprit.
