I just ordered a XXX-S G+ and a Novak Brushless system. Can anyone either A) send me to a site that explains gear ratios or B) recommend the proper pininon ranges for a moderate to small, tight, carpet track?
I found http://www.teamnovak.com/products/MO...gear_chart.htm but I really don't know how it applies to either my ideal situation, ie. gearing for a tight carpet track, or what advantages I get by changing spur gears if the final drive ratio is the same?

I'm not going through and reading all of this thread so here's my question. Anyone run this system offroad yet? I'm interested in putting it in my XXXT for a tight off road track. This track, 12 and 13 doubles seem to work great on so I'd think the brushless would work great. Plus not having to pell the motor for cleaning will be a major plus.

It should be pretty good for offroad as well. It has a lot of torque, and the RPM's wont have problems keeping up with 12 and 13 turn motors, especially since the track is small. I'm guessing you're buying one for Family Hobbies?
Will you be at SoCal tomorrow?

you will not be disapointed if you put on in your xxx-t how is the track at family hobbies, i have been waiting to see if anyone post some pic's,
i need to justify the drive. from oceanside it will be aprox the same distance for me to drive to socal..

Randy- Yeah it's fr Family. I was over there last night and running a 12x2 and after three runs I needed a comm cut pretty bad and I was thinking how nice it would be running offroad and not have to worry about that. I'm getting ready right now to go up to Irwindale Speedway. My cousin runs a NASCAR South West Tour car and I'm on the pit crew. We have a race up there tonight.
Jason- The track's getting much better. It needs a lot of water still. It's got a real hard surface with a layer of loose dirt on top. Gives funny traction. Last night we swept it off real well to get the loose stuff off and it had awesome traction with Losi t2000 tires. Come by after about 4:00 to get a good feel. Mid day is just too hot. By the time you finish watering, the end you started on is dusty again.
