540's and pinion poll (kinda)
 

Anyone using 540's in there dime please reply with what pinon gear size you are using.
..

Thanks !!"thumbsup"

when running 540's you need to run how ever many teeth pinion you want but needto make sure its a metric 48 pitch also hope that helps..... hows this a poll?:lmao:

Thats why the (Kinda)!! to much crap going on to really set one up!
lets Call it Pinion Q&A.. :mrgreen:

im running novak 45's with 8t front and rear works out great for me. no clod stall at all.

See now were talking !!
Thanks Talon"thumbsup"

i run 45t, with soon to be 10tooth pinions as soon as i put them in. i also ran 16tooth and crazy fast. you want a rock racer this is the way to go. had the same stall as my 390 12volt banebots. did 8 tooth as well, and no stall at all on any incline. feathering the throttle slightly was the only time it stalled. going the tens cause i want a little stall. i believe the smallest metric pinion is 12t by Robinson racing. berg pinions will work as well. more of a variety of sizes.

Great Info man thanX . i have my metal gears in and just cut some side plate for a bodyless.. gonna take this build a little slower then the last 3!.. its to damn hot out side neway :ror:

actually zno will drill out the stock pinions from redcat upon request, thats how i got my 8t pinions on my 540's."thumbsup"

yup i know.:mrgreen: i ordered some 10t for mine from zno. if he chose to go with a higher turn motor, additional gearing for the pinion would be needed for some decent wheelspeed. a 12t from robinson racing and up, or if an 11t is needed a berg one will work. regular 48p will work, but it will be noisy and wear out your gears or break them much sooner. if the 8t is needed i highly recommend getting bored ones from zno. not much room for error. when its time for new motors im going with a higher turn, and gear it up a tad for a a little more run times. personally having metric pinions may have be some what of a pain due to limited number of pinions compared to others, but i think the larger teeth are helping greatly to the durability under more power for plastic.

Damn thanX for this info I'm currently running 12's and did run 14's (losi) for a while but I want to run the 8-10's for this next build!
ThanX again every1"thumbsup"
