|  rsd and wheel speed ok i have an r2d with a novak 55t and a 12t pinon running axial axles i would like a little more wheel speed without loosing tork. (low end) bought a 45t to try out, but dont know what pinon to use leave the 12tooth or go down to 11tooth or the 8 tooth that the r2 came with(most likely too low) oh i run 6 cell 4500 maybe leave it and go to a 7th cell???????? im soooo confused...... thanx |

| Go with the 45 with the same pinion that will give you a good starting point. I personally run a R2 tranny as well I run a 14t pinion, castle sidewinder, 55t, AND 11.1 3s Lipo's. Wheel speed is good and torque can be to much some times. But I like it and don't plan on changing it. Best thing to do is EXPERIMENT your style of crawling will not be the same as the next. |

| Adding more cells will help get you some more wheel speed... I would try out the 45t with the 12 tooth pinion. If that turns out to be too little torque, you can always re-gear. Another option is to add a cell, put in the 45t, and drop down to the 8 tooth. That should be good. |

| Just change one thing at a time. Document it. Keep on changing it till you get what you want. Higher Turn - More Torqure/less wheel speed Higher Voltage - More torque/more wheel speed Smaller Pinion/Larger Spur - More torque/Less wheel speed I'm sure you already know that but for anyone who doesn't. There ya go. |
