when i ran my ballistic 4.5 i ran 15/62 . As we all know there are lots of variables when it come to gearing. it actually got cooler when i jumped from 13 to 15.
I was just making fun which is not much like me on threads that are supposed to help people. Much respect Marcus.
I was running 12/62 and it was not fast enough and I am slipping the VTS clutch a lot. I considered that by increasing the pinion I would potential run at a a speed that was not as hot but could also increase load. Taller gears can also reduce low end torque which in my case was OK since I am breakin loose the slipper easily. I did not consider a 15t yet but if you have experience with it being cooler that may be on my test list. I want my SC10 4x4 to out perform my Jammin SCRT10 with the same powerpack on 8th scale tracks.
I have a 550 5.5t stator. Would it be better to run that?
Does this change between the V2 Diff and VTS Slipper with stock pads?
