Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is the same post somewhere. I got really confused about when to use mod 1 or 1.5 pinion and stuff. From what I understand is mod 1.5 is better for 1/5 scale model, and mod 1 is for 1/8 model. Can someone give me a recommendation what mod and pinions size to use with Castle 2028 w/800kv? I'm planning to use the 47T spur gear already installed with the Kraton 8S EXB 1/5 scale. Low temp is my main priority and if I can get low temp along with 50+ mph would be perfect.
Thank you everyone in advance

I’m running the Castle 800kv in my outcast 8s and running a 44t pinion with the 47t spur and it’s an absolute beast (1 mod)
Runs great
I’d recommend this gearing all day long

How do you know when to use mod 1 or 1.5? Also with your gearing recommendation do I need to worry about temp sometimes? Thank you for replying.
I’ve never seen mod 1.5 on a kraton
I use mod 1.5 on my xmaxx’s though

it’s only needed in very high power systems ..I don’t have a ton of bashing time on my kraton but I don’t think the mod 1 is an issue
I’ve seen some super high power kraton s survive nicely with the mod1 gearing
As long as you properly set up the mesh you will be fine

Also
I use high power fans on my setups so temp isn’t a problem for me

Did you use the normal 5mm bore for the pinion?
 
On a side note, if you choose to go with a mod1.5 pinion, you'll have to change the spur to mod1.5 too or prepare for some shredded gears.
 
Hi, where did you buy that pinion? Article number? Br Peter
I just bought my pinion from saga customs
They sell on eBay

I run 36/47 in my o8s but I needed m2c motor mount to do it. I suggest you stop being lazy and just install the 39t spur and save money. The only reason I went that route was because I bent stock motor mount. 😎 👍

Nah i don't want to take apart brand new roller just to go faster I gone run 30t × 47 too se happens..of course i will make the swap to 39.spur but not right now... I don't think he gone super slow on 30t × 47 whit 800kv catles. Anyway this is experiment well see what happens ( mamba combo xlx2 + 800kv 2028 on 30t × 47 ) maybe 40 mhp 😂🤦‍♂️ guys I will swap to 39t but i want to make the experiment...I don't want to crash the exb the first day..but thank you bro..i will post what happens whit this combination
