I would keep going bigger on pinion; just monitor the temps on speed controller/battery/motor carefully; keeping battery/speed controller under 160; lipo battery under 115.

wow!

Running a 3S lipo with trinity 6.5T 550 motor; completely insane power. Makes my associated b44.1 with a novak 5.5T feel slow/underpowered in comparison.

Had some minor traction rolling issues;...

We are not saying that they dont work; it just under performs; by the time you gear it up to get the speed the temps get to high at 7.4V range.

mod 1 gears

Also the scte is using mod 1 gears; the gear mesh is loud and much less smooth compared to its 48 pitch cousin. I basically tighten all the way up snug the adjuster; then back off a tiny bit to...

As the above post mentioned you could gear up.

Is the front or rear (or both) traction rolling? (you can usually tell by wear on tire)

Traction roll can be reduced by:

Hello,

Just spent the weekend building a b44.1; had some questions:

I agree; for extra 50 or so for a castle setup; it is well worth it. The speed controllers are tanks. (even saw one survive a cross plug-in due to a lipos removable wires)

hmm

6 teeth on pinion is a big jump;

you may want to try 22 first and then check motor temps after 5 mins.

Brushless motors do not like heat;I'd be wary of anything over 150F (you should be able to...

With Lipos its very important not to run a motor that can pull more then your battery

Basically buy the max c rating for the hottest motor you every tend to use. Most motor manufacturers have there max watts posted.

Pulling a lipo at a higher c-rate can cause a pretty firework...

Both are fun

Typically better head to head racing in on-road (especially circle track).

Off road is fun to find a fast lane and timing on jumps.

motors will always hit there max rpm or die trying (in theory)

kv = max rpms ie: 4200x7.4v=31,000rpm

Should add that the 4x4 SC;s look like more fun. :) But the division tends to be smaller due to cost (less competition).

Keep in mind that the gears have a inverse relationship; so changing both is somewhat counter productive. Just buy a value 10 pack of Robinson(or other brand) pinions to play with.

+1 tekin

From those choices; tekin is far better.

I would vote for a novak 10.5/4200 ballistick or ss series motor. I am fairly impressed with longevity and the ease of rebuilding these motors.
