Default erh!

I'm a bit new into this but my brother, my friend and I all bought a 5.5t motor and esc,(ezrun) running on just normal ni's (7.2v 3000ma) and on the lowerest setting for take-off (1!) and loosened the slipper off and compressed the spring but this weekend we have all stripped the gears. Not got around to opening them up yet to find the problem but I would say that 5.5t is a little to snappy.

I heard (read) somewhere that for racing you are better off with a 8.5t but running it on 11.1v lipos or 14.8v lipos, this will out proform a 5.5t because it only draws about 3600kv rather than 6000kv, this should give better instant power for jumps, better topspeed and takeoff, ofcourse the downside is the battery is even more £costly£ and more weighty. (p.s this is second hand information and is only what I have read but seems logical)

OHH! Anyone know of any RC shops on the IOW that sell madrat parts, I.E gears ?! Want to get my car running again asap as my lipos have got here today, yay.
