Possibly a 45t and drop a tooth or two on the pinion? A hand wound motor would perform better also.

Or go 3s and turn down your thr epa if you want to keep your wheelspeed down?

The axial I have setup for my brother is on 3s with a 55t and will snap the outdrives off...but it needs more wheelspeed. Going to try a 45t in it next.

I'm also in surprise if you need any other help or want to join us in gtg's

I say 3s and 15t pinion. It would be a great compromise and you would gain both torque and power.

So sad, the rooster doesn't support 3s.

I'll back JRH on this one.

If your Rooster is no longer under warranty, go 3S. It can handle it. Don't forget to gear down though.

Cheers.

Just remember that the rooster doesn't have a 3S cut-off. You'll need an external one or make sure you don't drain it too far.

If you are happy with your setup but just want more torque a Holmes Hobbies Handwound 55T will be a noticable improvement over that machine wound Novak motor.
