RC8be advice
hey guys, i have been running my nitro rc8b all summer, and now its time to convert it to electric - i bought the mamba esc and 1800 motor. so here's the question...what BASIC gearing would be SAFE TO START WITH for a small, tight track? obviously i will be spending more time on this once i run it, I JUST DONT WANT TO SMOKE THE ESC within 2 laps around the track like i did on the last 8e i had (although it was a novak HV setup). oh, and the batt is a 4s 40c thunderpower.
thanks in advance for you suggestions!!!

With the 1800 unless you do something extreme configuration wise in the ESC or have driveline bind, etc it doesn't generate a ton of heat so as long as you check it here and there you shouldn't have any issues.

I'm running the 1.5y 1800/MMM also. I've tried 20, 19 and 18 indoors and I'm running the 19 now. Pretty tight indoor track. Works good for me, all temps are low, good run times. Plenty of punch without being squirrely.
