Senton Running 4s with 18t or higher ??

[helly604]

Hi Everyone,


I know the senton 6s comes with a "speed" pinion of 16t. but if i ran 4s battery is it ok to use an 18t pinion for offroad bashing ? or will this cause overheating ?

Do you have the vehicle already? What kind of temps are seeing what the gearing your running or with the 16T that comes with it?

He meant that you can simply check every few minutes on your first runs. If you don’t have a temperature gun you can just touch the motor and see if you can hold the touch for 3-5 seconds or more.

I do not have the vehicle yet. Its ordered and will be here next week. I just wanted to see if anyone had experience with running 4S and larger pinion.

I do. I run my Senton 6s with a Max8/2200kv with 22T pinion on 4s. No issues; plenty fast!!
