4s gearing with MMP 2400

[noobrc]

Hey guys i was wondering how i should gear the slash 4x4 if i run 4s. I dont want the motor and esc to be extrememly hot and ill be mostly doing runs down the street and maybe some driving on loose dirt/gravel surface.

You can start at like 18/54 and see how your temps are. I run one of my trucks at 22/50 on 4s. I also have an Integy single fan heatsink for cheap insurance.

Should i maybe start at a lower pinion?

[El Sob]

It is up to you. If you have pinions sitting around, by all means try them out. I am just giving an example of what worked for me. Please post your findings to help others on the forum

i'm running on 20t/52t with jato anaconda tires. 10 minutes later after doing speed passes, i can keep my hand in the motor.

I have to solder a series adapter or buy one cuz im running 2 gens ace 2s

[traxxasFTW]

Yea do you guys think ill need MIP driveshafts for the front as well? I only have them in the rear

[humayrayakongkinaon]

i dont have MIP driveshafts but i heard that the front rubs in the hub. i order the tekno M6 instead and it should be here by thursday along with the XO-1 knuckles

[noobrc]

Are the teknos better? If they are im gonna order some cuz i dont want my driveshafts breaking every run

[humayrayakongkinaon]

they're both very good shafts either one you pick. the only difference with tekno is that its non telescopic.

Is that a bad thing that they are non telescopic?

[noobrc]

The teknos are $30 cheaper than the mips

[humayrayakongkinaon]

no its not a bad thing, i'm only telling you the differences. and they are much lighter than MIP.

I swear by Mip X-Duty axles! I have them on both of my trucks. It comes to personal choice. They are both a hige improvement over the stock axles. I have front and rear on both of my trucks. If you look at www.gonitrohobbies.com they have them for a good price. You might also want to check eBay.
