Shoot
I dont know how to do the roll outs yet lol... I just learned the whole FDR
for the 37mm roll out in the cyclone with the 100 tooth spur what would be the pinion to run?
my monster stock is geared 100/37 which is a FDR of 6.59 if that helps you know how the track is.. I dont think so, but you never know
I think I said that right lol

I've got a small problem maybe someone here can help. I installed a novak 13.5 brushless system in my cyclone and i'm trying to get a FDR of about 4.5 to 5. in 48 pitch for asphalt racing.(recomended on this forum) What spur/pinion combo should I use that will fit in this car? Right now I have a 77 and 78t spur gear. I thought about trying a 72t spur Thanks for any help/ideas you have. 
No getting around it, the Cyclone is going to be difficult to gear with a 13.5. I predict that the next generation of Sedans will have a tranny ratio between 1.75-2.0

Ok I'm getting frustrated. I am trying to run a 9X2 motor on my cyclone and cant get it to work without temps going through the roof. I switched out the 100t spur for a 78t 48p. i can get a pinion to work (i'm trying a 22t) but the motor starts getting rediculously hot after about a minute. im running an lrp bullet reverse control which is supposed to be no limit. any ides what i'm doing wrong? i've had this car about 3 weeks now and havent been able to get a motor to work in it :-(

thanks carlos. i could prolly figure this stuff out if i could just understand the fdr. is there a magic range you want to be in? i see people running from anywhere between 4 and 6 fdr, and i just cant understand why the variance.
it seems there is very little room to play between a safe thermal range and cooking it depending on gearing. how do you know what fdr you should be running?

Your fdr depends on motor and size of track. The fdr you end up runnig is specific to you due to your driving style, again motor and size of track. Also depends on wheather you are using 64p or 48p gears. You just need to play with it and see what works for you.

I have been working the same thing right now. However, I plan to run 5 Cell 13.5. We think I'm gonna need a FDR of 4.3:1. I have a few plans on how to achieve this. Currently I am at (88/45)2.375=4.77 This barely fits, the motor is all the way back, and just a marginal gear mess. This ratio would be good for 6 cells, but with 5 I need a taller gear. So if I can acquire a 50t pinion, (88/50)2.4375=4.3 I can get to where I think I need to be. Also, I have looked at changing the upper pulleys to a 17t. That would change the tranny ratio to 2.29. This get closer to running more normal of gears.
No getting around it, the Cyclone is going to be difficult to gear with a 13.5. I predict that the next generation of Sedans will have a tranny ratio between 1.75-2.0
