Losi 1/8 8ight E 4wd Thread

Power = Volts x Amps
So if you increase volts and keep your power output the same, you will lower your amps, which will lower temps all round.
You can get away with gearing down, ie smaller pinion. but you can only go so far until your motor runs hot due to mechanical inefficiencies..

I am new to brushless/ lipo,I bought an 8b with the mmm and put the monster setup on my 8t.I am in the process of putting a 45t plastic spur setup on it and I have a 13t,15t,and a 16t.which would be ideal on a track with around 80 to 100ft straightaway? I was guessing 13/45,is this about right?

The flat round part behind the teeth (where the set screw goes) is too long.

I'm running a 12/45 and it runs a little warm. I bought a 3 pack of Novak pinions 9, 10, and 11 tooth, but they won't work with the Losi motor mount. The next step for me is to start using larger metal spur gears.

They only make them as small as 12 tooth, which is what I'm using now.
EDIT: I stand corrected, they make an 11 tooth pinion. My LHS didn't even know that.

EDIT AGAIN: They make a 10 tooth pinion too.

Has anyone tried this set up for a converted 8ight 2.0? So far I am just using the stock set up and wanted to try something different. I feel the shock oil is too light and hoping the thicker diff oil in the center will help.
