What truggy? Need some detail for good info...

I run my castle 2200 in my truggy with 12 or 13t cutch bells w/ 48t spur. I use to run the 50t spur but kept getting rocks etc getting caught as well as some impacts that would just destry the spurs.. cost too much so I just went back to 48 losi tekno 8t

i have been running 15-17t pinions on a 46t spur on my 2200 and 1800kv castles. minimum heat and plenty of speed.ran same pinions on a 50t spur as well and still heat issues were non existant.gear the truck to temperature.if it gets hot gear down. ran the same combos in my mbx5t before switching to rc8t.

it really depends on how you are running the buggy. you want the buggy to top out at the end of the straight on the track you are running. you also need to keep the temps in check which shouldnt be a problem.

im running my 2200 with the losi 48 spur and the losi 15 pinion. temps dont even come up above 105 (it was 75 during that week) thinking about stepping down to the 14 for the technical tracks

i drag race my vorza and use 44t spur, 21t pinion and 6s. my temps stay well within normal range.

do you know the gear ratios on the vehicle?

If you do, you can punch in your numbers here:

you want to shoot for 40mph initially if you don't have anything else to use. Then, at the track give it a go and gear from there.

I run a Tekin 2250 geared 48/16 on 4S and my temps are coming off after a full battery pack at 100-120 degrees.

thanks guys for all the info, do you think it would be possible to gear around a 56 t spur or just scrap that 1 and go for a 48ish ?

i think a 48t will be easier to find.
