GEAR SELECTION (Important)
SS5800 Motor
With the SS5800 motor start with 2 teeth lower pinion gear
than you would use with a 27 turn "stock" brush-type motor.
SS4300 Motor
With the SS4300 motor start with 3 teeth lower pinion gear
than you would use with a 27 turn "stock" brush-type motor.
Because of the broader power band of the brushless motor, you can
go with a 1 to 3 tooth higher pinion than the above recommendations
for more top speed, but remember that going with 3 or more
teeth higher will produce excessive speed control heating. Be sure
to check the operating temperature of the ESC after making any
gearing adjustments--the Super Sport ESC is designed to operate
comfortably from160ºF-180ºF (warmer than typical brush-type ESC).
If you had a low turn modified brush-type motor in vehicle before
switching to the Super Sport system, and you do not change gearing,
you will be under-geared and the vehicle will be slow at top speed!
You will want the final drive ratio in the vehicle to be:
7.30 : 1
9.00 : 1 for Off-Road Buggies
12.30 : 1 for Off-Road Stadium Trucks
Higher final drive ratios will give longer run time at the expense of top
speed, while lower ratios will result in higher ESC temperatures--too low
may result in overheating and thermal shut-down.
