Are you just making a couple speed runs or are you trying to run a full pack?
That’s way too much gearing then. You can probably get away with 2 or 3 back to back WOT passes before the temps get into the red. I’d go with an Infraction diff with 27/46 gearing for 10 min runs. That should put you closer to a full pack but you’ll need to monitor temps still to make sure everything stays below 180 degrees. For street bashing with stock electronics that’s probably the highest gearing you’ll be able to get away withrun for 10 or so minutes and just do some speed runs up and down the subdivision street, nothing too crazy.

Thanks for the help. So I’ll keep the 27t pinion in there and grab a 50t Arrma diff. For the time being, I guess I’ll just do single passes and then check motor tempsYes
You’ll be trading top speed for safer temps and longer run times
I will go for the 18t/50t setup since I’ve seen a few videos with this setup and it drove nice. 18/50 should be a easy drop in fit right ?I don’t think you’ll be able to squeeze a 27t pinion on the mount with a 50t spur and still retain both hold down screws up top. 27/46 is about maxed out on the v4 mount
Yes and you should definitely be able to run a full pack.
You can go up as high as 23-24 pinion with the 50t spur if need be.
Top speed with a 18/50 setup will yield approximately 55-57mph.
23/50 is about 70mph
27/46 = 82-84mph
Right now with your current gearing your looking at 105-109mph
So my buddy gave me a 39t spur gear for the limitless. Keeping the 27t pinion, would going from a 34t spur to the 39t spur help any for runs? If so then I can just grab a cheap 22t pinion and run 22/39 and be all set for free versus 60+ bucks for just a diff and pinionI just figured a diff would be easier to come by (especially if you have more than 1 Arrma) but an 8mm bore spur gear will work as well to swap out on the spool.
50/18 = primary drive ration 2.77 (runs cool - run it till you break it)
39/22 = primary drive ratio 1.77 (runs hot - 3-4 speed passes max)
34/27 = primary drive ratio 1.25 (runs hot - 1-2 speed passes max)
That’s only an 1100kv motor. You’re gonna want a huge pinion anyways. You will need to overdrive it just to hit 80mphInteresting read. I'm currently building a limitless with a max 6 combo using the 5687 motor. I'm stuck on gearing though ? heard using the bigger motor mounting moves the pinion gear away from the spur gear so a bigger gear is required.
Any body know if there's any truth to this
Really ? I did some research on line before I purchased it all and it seamed to be a good combo.. I've already ordered it now :-( can I just swap out the motor ? Do you have any recommendations as to what motor to run with the max6s escThat’s only an 1100kv motor. You’re gonna want a huge pinion anyways. You will need to overdrive it just to hit 80mph
