| Too much reduction?
Im tinkerin around with my TXT project. Right now i am on the drive train, I am running 55t motor with a 13 tooth pinion, GD600 set at 3.8:1 ( 9tooth pinion on output shaft) stock txt trans which is 6.37:1 axles 2:1 Out of curiosity i hooked it up to a 7.2v pack... and the trans outputs turn REALLY slow... ... Do i have too much reduction? |

I'm running roughly the same redux (I don't really remember what pinions I have on there) but I'm doing it with a 7t cobalt and 3 cell lipo. It could be a tad bit faster, but I'm not complaining. What tires you use has a big part to play in what redux you use, I'd definitely be geared higher if I were running maxx size tires, but I'm running moab XL's. I'd say try it and see what happens. Keep in mind that I'm a speed junky. | |

thats around a 200:1 reduction on a slow motor. so i myself would try a faster motor.

I've been running 2x55t,7.2, stock gearing and 6 inch tires for years and don't plan on changing.
