I meant the V2 endbell in general, I read the rest of the posts. For example, you manually align normal brush hoods, is there anykind of "general" tuning for V2 motors?

It sounds like you couild still gear them higher. Here in the UK a typical gearing for a V2 is about 4.9
(on the same track a C2 would be geared around 5.6 ish)
We tend to only use the V2 if the straight(s) are short and the track relies on accelleration - the V2 develops a lot more torque than the C2 / Reedy Quad.

4.9 thats low!We have played around for awhile with these motors and found optimum gearing between 5.3 and 5.6.
Remember its a small dia com, more for mid and top end. But somehow the motor likes this gearing and pulls hard without over heating!

Yea see this is the info i was talking about , at least we know what he WAS gearing the C2 motor to have an idea for our own track as to how much we would need to go up.
for my tack i know a C2 needs a FD of 8.1 (tight carpet track)
so with the V2 19 i will try a 7.5FD
For all i knew you could have had a FD of 6.5 and went down tot he 5.4 with the V2 19.
The car doesnt make a difference really but my 415 in 19 with a c2 takes a different FD them my tc4 does to make them work good.

Keep in mind that UK tracks are big and sweeping. 4.9:1 is not that big a gear. At the Euro Champs in 2003 they ran 12T Mods at 5.5:1!

They also do alot of indoor carpet racing, big brother didnt specify. Still that is a very low gear ratio.

Yup, your right. I ran my Reedy 19 at 5.7:1. You sure are fast with the standard brush Element.

I like the powerband low, mid and high end grunt its a good all around motor its been my favorite since I started running it a year ago.

for a 19t.the Peak version I got at $49.99 is a bargain.
