I'd suggest that the best thing is to start with the 3/4ths of the the straight top speed rule for gearing. My guess is most people will be 1-2 two teeth less with almost identical lap times.
Good point! and yes 12x5 was my motor of choice
charging at 5 - 1 - 5 to get that extra run time my I don't miss that!

Hi Casey,
Thanks for the reply. I thought the Novak Truhe Edition with the 14mm rotor was specifically made to handle the Losi's weight?

My bad, 14mm it is. I believe the 540 torque rotor is 12.3 oops sorry guys. It has been a loooong time since I have taken that motor appart. (I guess that is a good thing). 180 is not too bad. I ran the 12mm 180-200 all summer. The 550's seem to run quite a bit hotter.
But yes Pheonix heat, Tucson heat, what ever.
