Default FT Gearing opinions with a Pro4 4600

Hey everyone,

Manual says to use the 93T/48P Spur with a 540 motor on the FT setup. Is this a good starting point for the Pro4 4600?

I'm thinking I should buy some 48p 12-16t pinions, but is there anything special I need to buy to fit the Pro4 shaft?

Thanks!

That is before Tekin came out with the Pro4 4 pole 540 motor. The Pro4 motor will rip the teeth off a 48p gear. Best go with the 32p gears. The Pro4 motors have 5mm shaft I believe.

Pro4 is a 5mm shaft....only place I've seen 5mm 48p pinions is Kershaw Design...and be prepared to choke when you see the price of them!

When they say 48p for 540s, they are talking about "normal" 2-pole 540s. The Pro4 is a monster and will eat 48p spurs for dinner...

With the pro 4 you need to go with the 32p depending on track size I would say prob start with a 13 and go from there. I run a 14 on a fairly large track where lap times are in the mid 30s but would drop to a 13 once the hot summer gets here.

I'd personally rather have a busted truck that Marcus fixed, and run AGAINST the Losis, than have to wait a year or RUN a Losi....


Funny you mention other companies having us do their R&D....

I want to thank every person out there who bought Windows Vista...you paid for the priviledge of beta testing Windows 7 and now I have a better OS.

Thanks everyone, so will any 32p pinion fit a 5mm shaft? Reason I ask is because I'll hit up HobbyTown tomorrow, but they only carry Robinson Racing in the store so if it is not a 'normal' setup I might as well save a trip...

Hi There
Just a quick question on the FT kit, does it comes with the normal battery strap? As I currently I only own stick style 7.4 lipo.

Many thanks! Cheers!

Is there an option belt for having the 19t front pulley on? Seems very loose.

Many of the Robinson 32p pinions are 3.5mm. Should say on the package. Call them

Are the settings in the Factory Team Manual pretty good basics?
This is my first Sc10 4x4, do you guys even use the clicker? Or overdrive, under drive pulleys?
