First impressions. Mega 550, brushed motor (after changing to the 23T).
I miss the acceleration, it is still fast off the line, but not as much fun factor,
It now takes a bit of distance to hit top speed, unlike the 14 tooth, which quickly found 20 MPH.
Does anyone know how many MPH I may have gained on top end?
I have no clue, but I need a long strip of asphalt and a GPS to find out.
14 tooth was about perfect for the Mega's intended use (Bashing),
Racing and chasing it was faster with the 14 tooth.
Cannot imagine putting a 27T.
Figured the 23T would be a good compromise and easier on the ESP, Motor and Battery (2S 5000 50C LIPO)
Have not tried this off road yet, but sure it will not perform as well.
What has been your experience and what pinion gear would you suggest?
