Anyone have advice as to where to start my gearing with a tekin 1900kv on 5s in my new rc8be? I know its way overkill for the indoor clay track but for some reason I couldnt help it. I may eventually go to 4s or a 1700kv but this is what Im going to start with and would like to get the geaing in the ball park. It seems people with the 1900kv on 4s start around 18-19 on the pinion. I would think my setup would require a 16 or so? I dont know, is why Im asking.

Why don't you monitor the temps when you are charge those at the different rates and see what the difference is also?
