I'm completely ignorant about gearing at the moment. I have a stock Granite 4x4 Mega. I want to swap over to a Max10 SCT-A combo, run on 2s lipos. It's a 3660 motor at 3200kv.
Here's what I want out of my gearing. I want to keep the motor cool as possible, I want more torque than top end, but if at all possible, still be able to break like 40mph if I put it through the floor. Though that last one is the least important.
I blew my stock spur tonight. LHS didn't have correct pinion gear, so the one they gave me made the mesh too tight. I hollowed out a couple holes in my motor mount to allow me some adjustment, and I'm guessing I was too timid in tightening the motor screws (really afraid of stripping the motor screws holes). So during my first run with the new lipos, the motor moved out a tad, and rounded off all my teeth. I have to purchase a new spur no matter what. I'm guessing the blx spur will be the big suggestion? Also, the Max10 comes with a 21 tooth 48 pitch pinion. What should I be looking at for my gearing both before and after the upgrade? Until I get the new electronics, should I just replace the stock gear?
Any and all help is appreciated. Trying to learn a lot as fast as possible, but there's a ton of info to sift through.
