B44 Gearing

[Jamesd]

Hi

I have an B44. I run on a large astroturf track.

I run an Novak GTB Brushless Speedo, with a Novak 5.5R velociti motor.

An 84spur, what pinion should I use?

If I use a Novak 5.5balistic would the gearing be different from the above motor, if so, what would you recommend?

Thanks

pm snige on here. He was running novak 5.5r with gtb yesterday and It was good.

On my 5.5 LRPX12 I use a 18 pinion - i wouldn't of thought that would be far off - hope this helps you

I can tell you what gearing I'm on a BJ4 tomorrow when I'm home, but with regard motors I've run both in the car, the newer Ballistic ones fell really very similair in terms of performance I think but do run a little bit cooler, of course you can change the motor timing too. I would start with same gearing and take it from there.

Thanks for the advice.

Also the ESC is therm out after about 3mins, when running an 20pinion. Any ideas?

Fan OK???? Check also motor bearings and rotor?

I run an x11 5.5 with a losi esc indoors with an 18t pinion. Aside from being far too fast it's good and has never therm out even after 10-12 min. I've been told to run a 22-23t for outdoors...
