Lllloooowwww Gearing

[gearhead]

as the topic is sarting to arise to alot of people that they want there truck to crawl but as metioned from before from a dead stop these cars cant crawl over an extention cord. so to night i was out on an adverture to see what i could do. after an 2 hours of finding gears and puting them all togather i came up with a ratio of 8:50 witch the lowest u can go with the motor upgrade is 8:24. so im almost doubling the tourqe of the truck. this is going to go so slow but i realy dont care i just want this to CRAWL!!!!!!!!! but after all this work i ran into some clereance isues but now while im talking about tis i just tought of a way around it but this mod won't work on the hummer. witch is unfortuate caus that is what i have. but im going to see if i can get a f-150 2marrow. but if this all works out i will put up a tut on it and posibly sell kits.

I don't know how I missed this thread earlier.....How!?! Where did this 50 tooth gear come from?

u dont need low gearing just get a 180 motor with the low gearing from the s2 motor and your car will hav speed and torque it will pull wheelies from standstill just try it before going through all the trouble of gears the motor fits in with just a trim of the siding that holds in the stock motor

[pittbull988]

did u do this with the rs gears or other ones?

as a rather experience offroader in the real world, I know that gearing > power almost every time!

besides....I'm already getting a 180 motor....but I still want lower gears

to crawl with any rc a few things need to be
addressed:

-low gearing - check
-low torque motor - do they even make an extreme low torque?
-articulation is always a must
-some parts would have to be alloy...

like cup shafts i cracked mine already so alloy would be a must.

i used the rsgears if that question was directed toward me and lower gears are great if u hav no other option but once u get a 180 motor u might not want to bother with gearing it any lower than it already is youll go through diffs like crazy and they are connected 2 the cupjoints so its even easier the dog bones twist with too much torque also and this happened with stock gearing

well i gut my 50 tooth gear from a electric airplane gearbox and i modded it to fit in place of where ur spur gear goes but after i had it all working and i went to put in the dog bone they interfrered so now im trying to think of a way to relocate it.
