Was wondering if anyone had did some testing to see which brushless motor(and gearing) would compare to the stock system(and stock gearing), as far as side by side speed.

Thanks

A lot has been tested at BFG. I believe they figured out that a 17.5 with a 23 pinion is just a tick slower then a "good" Tition. So maybe a 24 or 25 would make it equal.

27t pinion and 86 spur is close

so 17.5's would be the way to go. I am assuming that is with both having a 6 cell battery?

just a question, why would you want to go brushless, and want same speed as brushed?? just wondering???

Less maintanence, more consistant, easier.

Butters just glue the rear tires and slap that 5.5 in it and you should be good!

We may be able to get 2 classes going if they continue to take off.

I really dont care what we run I just want to run. I suggested following roar rules so if you wanted to go and race elsewher you could thats my only thought.

and most places run box stock i dont care either just as long as every one is the same so i thought box stock would make it easyer

wrenchhead, I ran mine with a 19t 2c lipo and it was a little much on the track. I was throttle driving the whole time. I think keeping box stock for the exception of brushless motor setup(17.5) and radio setup. Hope this calms you down!

Take deals to the Swap and Sell forum or email. This is a "discussion" forum. Thanks.

With the testing that we have been doing a 17.5 havoc system with the 23 pinion is very close to the same speed as the stock motor setup. just you get them at the end of the run (20 minute mark or so) they draw a little more off their battery.

I ran my SC10 with a 17.5 in it yesterday. Almost identical in speed to the slash!

What did you gear it?
