4.0 3.29 3.11 3.0 gearing

[evan03]

im currently running 4.0 and am wondering how much the speed difrence will be going to 3.29(common gearing for my motor)

4.0 just isnt fast enough on the sand with 4 cell lipos 5 cell is pretty good but could use alittle more oomh 6 cell seems to be right where i wanna be but is kinda a pita.

money is tight so i cant realy afford to order a bunch of gears to test. id like to run 4 cell and have some speed and maybe 5 cell for that wow factory everyounce in awhile.

thanks for advice

That's a lot of battery you're running. I can't say for sure but if you look at the math but from 4.0 to 3.29 it's a pretty big drop. I'd probably go up 2 teeth on the pinion (32 pitch) as it will usually increase speed quite a bit.

17 puts it at 3.29 which is a common gear ratio for buggies with 2200kv motors. My motor is 2100kv.

Thanks for the reply. I was hoping a few teeth would make a noticeable difrence. I'm 14 now and will try 17. Yeah its 32p

Thanks again.
