im running my losi with the ss4300 brushless and this setup. spur 48 and pinion 27..

whats the max i can go i just baught a 28tooth today but havent put it in yet....

I hope you mean an 84 spur, for I doubt anyone does a 48 that I am aware of.

yeah sorry i was in a hurry when i typed it 88T 48P Spur... just need to know what my ss4300 10.5 brushless motor can handle as far as spur/pinion..

What rotor are you using?

RoseTuned

waht do you mean by Rotor? isnt a rotor for nitro? j/w im still new at this.

The rotor is the center portion of the motor, made up of the center shaft and the surrounding magnetic material.

the original SS4300 (purple center band) came with a bonded rotor (weaker magnets, more easily damaged by heat).

The 10.5 Pro (purple center band) came with a sintered rotor (STRONG magnets, much less affected by heat, and much more torque).

The 10.5 EX (gold center band) has the bonded rotor...

The gearing is MUCH different for the bonded rotor than it is for the sintered.

i am def not sure wich rotor there is. right now on my losi xxx-s with the ss4300 motor im running the 88tooth 48 pitch with a 27 pinion. i tryed to run it with the 28 pinion but it got wicked hot really fast so i took it off and reput on my 27.

The brushless 4300 motors came stock with bonded rotors, so unless it has been swapped out, it is bonded. You want to have a final drive ratio of about 5.5 with rubber tire, plush or minus a pinion for that motor depending on track layout and how your brushless system is responding and your driving style. I'm assuming you may be unfamiliar with figuring out your FDR, so here's the equation- Spur gear divided by pinion times your internal gear ratio (not sure what the losi XXXS internal gear ratio is, refer to manual). Example: 88/27 x 1.83 (I'm just using this 1.83 number as an example of your internal gear ratio)= 5.96 which means you can still go up a couple of teeth (if the car has 1.83, probably doesn't). When you go up in teeth on your pinion, your final drive ratio will go down.

i cant tell you all i know is when it cam stock it was 88tooth spur 48 pitch with a 22 tooth pinion and i changed it from that to 88/25, then 88/27 and now 88/28. i took the 28tooth pinion off cause in oticed that it was wicked fast but the esc was getting really hot to the touch.
