Remember what the event doesn't matter because the adventurist class is still walking pace because it is adventure not a race.
Thanks Jerry. This will be my first KOH and second G6, but I think I get the point now.

Remember what the event doesn't matter because the adventurist class is still walking pace because it is adventure not a race.
I need help deciding on what gearing to run at the King of the Hammers. Should I gear up for more speed or keep it low?
I would appreciate any insight. Thanks.

I run a 35t with a 3s with 14 pin. The best advice to give is you want your motor to stay under 160 degrees. When in need of more speed, volt up and gear down instead of increasing the pinion size. "thumbsup" Info: Brushed Motor Selection and Gearing Guide by Vehicle | The Search for PowerThat is such a fine line. A 1.9 G-Ride needs some wheel speed for loose climbs, sled pulling, and during the Holidays; throwing mash taters in the air.
The Training wheel classes or the 2.2's, not so much, because the larger tire size helps clear stage obstacles.
I run a 35t with a 60t spur and 14t pinion. 32p for durability. That combo works great for me.
Mike Pham, runs a brushless system. Wheel speed is great when you need it and it crawls very well too.
You are correct, but wheel speed in a G6 is needed. I have watched your G-Ride pull a toyota which was pulling a jeep, through the mud pit! "thumbsup"
That would not have been achieved on a 55t 80t spur, 14t pinion!
Do work, Stage Detective!

I love my Pro 4 with RX8 and RC4WD 2 speed tranny!"thumbsup"
Crawls great and hauls.
Stupid question but here goes...
My scaler has Axial axles and Trans but is not an off the shelve rig, am i still allowed to run so logn as i meet noted requirements of 5 scale items?
thanks!
Looking forward to attending and participating seeing as ill be there for the Team Naxja/ Petty Cash EMC race.
Agama,
I have been thinking about a two (2) speed transmission for my next build. I'm undecided ... waffling at the moment. I'll have to decide when I start ordering parts sometime in the Spring.

DMFer,
"Wheel speed for loose climbs" was my concern. At the G6 Mountain Mash I had some trouble with loose dirt. Ironically, it was the trail marker that I had suggested.
I thought I would ask about gearing, since I'm not familiar with the KOH terrain. I'm running a 12T with a stock spur (48). I think I have a 14T laying around somewhere, maybe a little more speed wouldn't hurt.
