The LRP sounds good in my future
Just have to see what you say on gearing from the novaks, If I cant gear it where I wanted, then probably wont buy one and do the novak...

Hmmm, Well 4.9-5.0 is my track here for the novak, so what would you guess? You run 5.85 FDR, So Where should I start? would 5.80 be equal to novaks? Im really confused as what to do.... I ordered a sintered rotor, LRP X-11 Vector, and LRP TC sphere
My wallet hurts

I sent LRP a email on gearing.....
But anyone have any starting points? After spending over 300 bucks, I dont want to blow a ton more on pinions, I know if I didnt want to buy lots of pinions and spurs I should of did the novak, But any starting point should be better then nothing
EA says 5.85 so I think around there? Why do the LRP's want less gear? How hot was it running at the FDR EA?

(5.5). Since you have the sintered rotor, you'll be able to gear up a gear or two from those recommended FDR's.

Monster stock at 6.59
CO27 at 6.25
Cant you tell how the track is? I know drivers preferance, and gas brake, Punch etc.... So what do you think? Too bad I cant run a pinion and take it back if I dont like it lol..

Brandon,
Well it really depends on the track. If you go by our gearing chart i would gear it near a 6.0 for a small track and about a 5.0 for a larger track. try it and let me know how the motor worked out for you please.

I thought it would be atleast a day.. So I think my track falls under Med size, But I will start at just under 6.0 and go down

The orion BL motors need lots of gear. I've seen someone go all the way down to a 4.3 on the Vortex 10.5 before it started losing performance!
It's my guess that this is why it is taking Orion a little while to release their 13.5 - they might need to redesign the motor so it will use somewhat conventional gears. Can you imagine a 13.5 that requires a 3.1 FDR to run right
?

?Thats wierd, Orion needs gear.. LRP doesn want much gear, And the novak is in-between, Yet they all run the same lol, Well LRP and novak from what I have heard
