I run the 13.5 on a big open track (because the gas guys like it that way)with a 118/47 giving me a 4.59. The motor only get to a temp of 120 and a couple of other 13.5 brushless have a little more top end so I am going to put the 41 tooth dif gear on both the front and back difs to reduce the internal ratio so I can get a smaller final gearing.

It'll probably be fine other than you might just have to run the belts a tad looser.

why run the belts looser with that much motor?

run them so they don't skip, just as you would set the belts with any ohter motor. the drivetrain of the jrxs can easily handle that much power if everything is in good working order.

u tried a different spur combo to get the gearing u are lookin for?
I tried all different combos, the one pictured on the car is 118/37 for the 13.5.
If you close you can see that I have the wheels turned and the servo horn is just barely touching the motor.

I run the 13.5 on a big open track (because the gas guys like it that way)with a 118/47 giving me a 4.59.
So I don't see how you can be running a 118/47, unless you have a different servo horn or some kind of option on your car to give you more room.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I think it is a small Kimbrough servo saver.

Same here, I'm running the GTB with 4.5R sintered rotor and can only get 10.2 FDR (128 spur with 23T pinion / 64P) but still having thermal shutdown problems. I can't seem to fit a 22T pinion without the pulley rubbing on the motor's end-bell.

Anyone here can suggest anything to get the correct gear ratio. Does Losi make bigger spur > 128T for the JRX-S???

Thanks.

are you soldering the wires to battery bars? you have to solder the leads straight to the battery. take a dremel and scuff the places you want the solder to stick to and solder you wires in. they should work then.
