I've been running a 16t pinion in my Notorious from day 1. I run only 6S. I took it out a little while ago and I really have to say that I hate the way it drives. It's simply too fast and way to twitchy in the air for my taste. It's like someone took a rabid squirrel and shoved an eight ball of coke up its ass. No thanks.
With a 16t pinion, my speed calculator shows a theoretical top speed of 67.69 mph. I'm really surprised Arrma includes it as the "speed" pinion as it gears it faster than a Kraton on its 15t speed pinion.(62.35 mph). Up until the V4 release, only the Talion was faster with the speed gear (the Typhon now includes a gear that tops 70 mph as well). Anyway, I want to gear my Noto down and I'm torn between 14t and 15t. 14T gears it to 59.23 mph. 15T gears it to 63.46 mph. I'm leaning towards the 14T.
Does anyone run a stock Notorious/Outcast on a 14T pinion? If so, how are the temps? The 16t ran very hot. Does it cog at all running punch 9? How is the air control? Any real word experience would be grateful. Thanks!
