Team Campbell will be hoping to run brushed 10.5  No idea what to gear it at - less teeth than on the track? Torquey or revvy ESC profile? |

ill have a 10.5 pete in my Tamiya. it has a ration of 9 so its got a sphere and profile 8  Its a bit wild really tbh. and you loose time fighting with grip (because theres to much power to use). But crazy fun! |

I'm in if I can borrow an off roader for the day... Yep, I'll have two running, you can borrow one of them as promised :-) Probably the 2wd. Yep, gearing for 2wd 10.5 should be 8 or 9 or 10:1 or something. Orion has a good chart of starting gear ratios for brushless, it seems pretty accurate. www.teamorion.com/orion/products/brushless_infosheet.pdfAs always though, keep an eye on motor and speedo temps, buggy shells are very enclosed and it can get a bit toasty in there! |
