Almost finished with my first 8e conversion. I would like to keep the metal spur on it. I believe is a 48t stock. Anyone know what be a good size pinion to use with it? I will be running MMM 2200kv with 4s setup..I dont care about the noise..I am from the old school and prefer metal cuz they dont strip as easy.. Also does anyone have a "gently" used 4s lipo they wanna sell? Help an "old" newbie out..I've almost got it all together but still waiting for my zippys to get here from the far away land..haha..have paypal will spend..pm me if u got something.

I think kyosho has a 46t nylon spur gear.

Here's why:
At low speeds, there is so much torque in either case that the tires will lose grip, which keeps acceleration completely dependent on them. But at say 25 mph, the the car geared for 50 will continue to accelerate very hard while the car geared for 30 has almost topped out. Basically the closer you are to 0 rpm and the further you are from kv*volts, the more torque you will have.[/QUOTE]
i am currently running a 14/46 on a castle 2200 motor, so ur saying go bigger pinion to reduce the mega torque I have?
whats ur setting on the esc? my car has way to much power I am running 4s at revelation track
my friend said to lower the throttle punch somewhere, other guy said to lower my epa

I lowered my punch control to 20 and it helped alot with the wheelies and made it more driveable. I use 14/48 gearing and 5s.

Unfortunately my settings are exactly the opposite of what you want, because I personally believe it is best just to master throttle control. Also run a Tekin T8 1900kv buggy motor on 4s which is just about perfect for the track anyway.

question for those who coverted their nitro 8ight to 8ighte with a losi conversion kit and uses a castle/neu motor...The screws included with the losi kit is way big for the castle motor..Looks like it could use a m3 counter sunk screw maybe 15mm in length? Just wanna double check with those who ran that combination b4 I strip somethin...thanks!
