Default Speed Passion 17.5

Hello All,

I am just writing to say hello, my name is Ben and I am new to the Speed Passion family.

I have previously ran a Novak 17.5 but due to an "unfortunate schmelting accident" I now run a Speed Passion 17.5. I will admit I was very apprehensive at first, having run the 'other' motor for so long, but I am now a very happy racer with SP power.

My question is to do with gearing (I know, always a tough one).

I ran the gearing at FDR 3.5 (rollout 56.5mm) and got temperatures up around 110deg 'f' on an indoor carpet track which was high grip.

In your experience what sort of rollouts / ratios have people run (LRP Stock Spec ESC factory settings) with the 17.5?

Ben
