Hey, I am sure most of you are getting sick of me asking about this... when i ordered my brushless system for my 18MT ( Castle Creations Mamba Sidewinder Micro 65 Kv) and it was backordered for some reason.. O.o Sooooo.. Last time I am asking. Then no more on this topic. :)


Ok.. I have a chance to order new gears.. I am wondering what gear ratio can i use safley? I have a 55 tooth spur and a 15 tooth pinion brand new on hand in my box... Will these work? I really dont wanna burn out my gears or differential. I realize this motor is pretty big for this RC without upgrades so i wont be running full throttle anytime soon. =o


Any info an this will be great!

Thanks,

RC :woohoo:

What is stock on the truck?
There is so much power there you can gear up quite a bit.

Who are you kidding???? As soon as you have a flat straight surface you will open in up!!!!
