I run a Yokomo SD Black Special

my tires are 57mm

tranny ratio is 2.353

48 pitch 75 tooth spur

48 pitch 22 pinion gear

Epic Roar Pro

Reedy 767's

Red + Red -

I race on a 48x100 grey ozite carpet

*I need it to go faster! like noticably fast!*

I updated this thread, getting it to go faster, i was 4 teeth under geared lol stillc an reply

Here is the layout we kind run each week, we switch it up some, always have the long straight away though

Give the comm a cut, change the brushes and depending on the track you run on gear up a bit....

done, done, and the motor temp is perfect right now, not to hot. I could try a clamp with a motor fan i guess?

I could put my 72 tooth spur on, make it go alil faster?

whoa, you are really undergeared. Try running a 25 or 26 tooth pinion. It will greatly increase your speed, and it won't do any damage to your motor.

Looks like i am running a 9.29 gear ratio and a 19.62 rollout?

ben your car was plenty fast! but you hit a board and its all down hill from there! you can only make a motor go so fast, its the driver that has to do the rest! and you running the same setup on your epis as the rest of us are for the most part! i run a 767 with a purple spring on the pos and a green on the neg!!

reduced the contact area of the bushings, lightened the arms and also reducing the brush contact area would really get you there.

the routine stuff hood aligned, zapped magnet, cut comms and replace brushes.

What size is your track? I 7.0 is good for asphalt on 100ft tracks. So some where in the mid 7's should be close on carpet.

Go there...they also help explain target rollout etc.

Ben, you're at about a .78" rollout right now...which is slightly undergeared for a 8 turn mod motor on that size track

Go up 4-5 teeth (try 4 first, a 23 tooth) and you'll be right where you should be.

seem like my motor will be to hot then

i can hold my hand on the motor after the race, but i feel like if i gear up one more tooth, it will be hot? what should the temp be on the comm side of the motor? like 150 degrees or so? ill have to monitor it

You should be able to hold your finger on the motor for about 3-4 seconds. With the newer cells the motors are gonna get hotter no matter what. Trust me on the gearing. You're so undergreared that you're probably making the motor over-rev which also gets it hot.

ya, it does scream down the straights lol, ill give it a try, think a purple + and a green - would work like postie said for this setup? he said everyoen is running it at our track, what will a harder/soft do on the + and - Side, i forget shit,

Purple/Green works...you might want to try Purple/Red though.
