If you're going to add timing to your setup you will need to drop your gearing accordingly.
In general for 64 pitch gears very 5 degrees you add of timing should be 2-4 teeth dropped on gearing. This is a "general" statement. Motor temps are the indication of your gearing. If your car is fast and motor temps are good, you're there. If you're a bit slow and motor temps are high, you're overgeared.

Personally, I gear to come off the track at about 165°F after a 6-minute race. A motor will pretty much last forever at those temps. I know racers that run to 185, but they also replace motors more often. You could probably add a tooth, but you're certainly safe where you are and can expect great reliability and longevity.
Can i gear the motor heavier when i use a motor cooler?

Tekin vs SPX on dyno.
SPX was fast. Tekin blows up the dyno
Tekin beads the SPX easy!!!

tp 5
vc off
pc off
tb 21
cl off
sensored only and no motor timing and im running a 13.5 duo on a track that is 36/80 with 80 foot straight but pretty fast layout first run motor was 166* and i went down 5 teeth and motor was 160* and then in the main i went down 3 more teeth and it was 171 * ,and alot hotter then i like and not to mention esc was 130* in the main really need some help here and i started with 100 spur and 41 pinion then went to a 100/36 and then went to a 110 / 33 still hotter then what i want thanks for help and track was med bite on carpet

RS Pro: I set the lipo cutoff to 6.5V... If this is reached, what happens? Does the ESC stop responding completely to throttle input, or does it limit the current heavily... but allow you to bring the car 'home' ?
thanks.

thanks.

I'm using 48p gearing. So if I was safe using 180 in hybrid mode with everything default... so 12/100 in timing (3.6*).. then would I be safe if switch to 189 software and change to sensored only with 0* boost.
Then if safe I add boost from there...?

I think i will use a motor head sink. I don't cool the motor before the race.
I just put a head sink on the motor with a fan so the temps will not reach the 180.
Than i can gear it a bit heavy'r.
more power
they are going to test the gm speedo to as the dyno is repaired.
Also using a heavy'r fly wheel so they can measure the Tekin RS to.

If the grip came up for the main, maybe the agressive throttle profile, coupled with a different gear ratio didnt help?
I'm guessing you've checked for any binding in the transmission.
Just throwing ideas out there to think over.

Decided to go with the RS and not the Pro. Only difference is the motor limit isnt it?
I only race spec classes 17.5 and 10.5 so no real need to fork out the extra $$ for the Pro. Ill be ordering the esc tomorrow. Looking forward to see how it compares against the tc spec.
