You will also find that BL motors, especailly the milder ones (8.5 through 17.5) like to be geared tall. They actually gain bottom end with taller gearing because they react well to the load. Be careful no to go too far, you will want to watch motor temps.
I run a 10.5 geared 25/81 and that's actually pretty low for that motor.
Thank you very much! That was the kind of info I was looking for!
I'm currently gearing a 10.5 at 26/81 as of last week. Didn't know you could go that high but man what a difference! May go higher tomorrow in club racing.
