I am running a 2s battery with the VXL motor and the kid at the LHS gave me a 31t pinion gear to run with the 50t spur gear. I added it to the car and it is a lot faster. I run the car mostly on the street and do some jumping onto our grass. I don’t drive in the grass that much. Up the street, down the street, over the jump, through the grass, repeat. I check the motor for heat and while it gets hot, I can touch it. I have a heat sink.
The rear diff started to click after using this set up about 15 times so I opened it up and expected the diff to be trashed. It isn’t. I bought a new diff housing (had a couple of worn out holes on the old one) and added one shim while I was in there. There was no shim previously.
Question for you fellow RCers is, do you have any concerns with this gearing? I’d love to hear your thoughts and opinions
