Default RC8Te Gearing Ratio?
Hey guys I have a quick question...

I picked a "Factory Team RC8T". I converted it using AE's "E-Kit".

Here is my setup for far...

Castle's "MMM 2200kv" combo w/ 4s Lipo

What's the best gear ratio to run, so I'm not waisting money trying to figure it out.

I'm using a 17t pinion with the stock plastic 46t spur gear. I have the Tekin 2050 Truggy motor. 17t pinion may be a tad bit tall as I'm eating through about 2,200 mAh of battery per 5 minutes, but she's wicked fast

I'll be using "Turnigy 4s 30c 4500mah" just for the time being until I can afford better.

I ran 48/16 on mine with 2250kv. It had more than enough power/speed and temped out after a full battery pack at 110.

I have an R8Te as well with a 50t spur. I'm planning on running 2000kv truggy motor in it. What range of pinion should I get for it? 17-19 tooth pinions are what I was thinking. Can anyone else advise on this for me?
