So we all know that I have the spektrum 160a and a 1250kv motor... I'm geared pretty high. 34t and 50t pinion. I'm not even running into heat. My temps are between 100 to 125.... but should I drop down spurs? On 6s I'm rocking a steady 54 to 57 mph on a 6s pack... on 8s I'm getting 64 to 69 mph... and I losing the grunt to keep getting speed?. I'm running hoons. Also. From a dead stop I'm spinning or able to slide around.. but I'm not getting hot. My nature side thinks that I need to gear up a bit more. I decided to make the kraton into a road vehicle since it doesn't tend to break as much 🙃. Any input would be appreciated.. normally I would just figure it out by myself. But I have been so busy lately. And needing to through in a order.. I'm just wanting to break 70/80s easy and I probably would be happy enough lol.
 
Try a set of 4 rear Felony Hoons (107's) to increase your roll out. Better traction/ stability for a rather wide stanced Kraton 6s. May need more droop for higher speeds. Gear appropriately to keep the 1250 motor at or around the 50k RPM range. Based on whether running 6s vs 8s. In theory, you need different gearing for for the voltage (cell count) you are runnng.
KV x lipo volts = Rpm's. Just some ideas.
I usually change pinions by 2T up or down at a time. I have a whole set on hand. A temp gun will guide you as well.
 
Actually figured it out last week... thanks for the tips.. BTW. My temps never go over 130ish since the huge fans I have... but now I'm returning it back to a truggy.
