How much harder can I gear a 1406 4-pole vs cm36?
 

Hi, first post on this great site!

I'm hoping for input from people who have experience with the 1406 4-pole and cm36 2-pole Castle motors.

I'm trying to figure out which pinion to order to use with my new 4-pole motor. I know running and temp'ing is my best bet, but I'm curious as to what you guys are getting away with.

I'm ran a MMP w/ cm36 5700kv 19/82 (2s) on my Kyosho RT5 and highest
I've temped it so far was ~166. That's after 2 packs through it at WCRC.

My 1406 4-pole just came in and supposedly it's more efficient and 30% more powerful.

Do you think a 21 or 22 tooth pinion is do-able on this new motor?

Thanks guys, looking forward to hearing your responses :)

I think is doable especially since the new motor is much lower KV. I would say put the 22t on there and see what the temps are like and go from there.

This chart so help you out with your Castle Motors.

Thanks for the replies!

I saw that castle gearing chart and I think it's way on the safe side.

Anyone know what the 1406 5700kv is comparable to in the Orion line up?
