What is the stock gearing on a Traxxas Rustler VXL?

What is the stock gearing on a Traxxas Rustler VXL?

The recommended gearing for the Rustler with 3s lipo is 31/76. The motor was swapped out by traxxas due to high temps running stock tires and gearing, so I do not suspect a bad motor.

Which pinion gear is faster?

A bigger pinion or smaller spur gear makes the vehicle have more top speed, at a decrease in acceleration. It’s most likely that gearing up will make everything run a bit hotter, and shorten run times. A smaller pinion or larger spur gear has the opposite effect.

How do I make my Traxxas Rustler faster?

How to Make Your Rustler Go Faster

1. Learn how to add Extreme Velineon Brushless Power.
2. Remove the old motor and Electronic Speed Control (ESC)
3. Installing the new ESC.
4. Plug in the new ESC.
5. Step 4: Remove the original motor.
6. Step 5: Install the new brushless motor.
7. Step 6: Reassemble the truck.
8. Step 6: Finishing up.

How is RC gear ratio calculated?

For every mating pair of gears in an RC car, there exists a gear ratio. The gear ratio is simply the number of teeth of one gear divided by the number of teeth of a mating gear.

What is the best gear ratio for speed?

In the real world, typical street machines with aspirations for good dragstrip performance generally run quickest with 4.10:1 gears. Lower gears are required if the car is very heavy, or if the engine makes its power at the upper end of the rpm scale.

What does 48 pitch gear mean?

Well 48p is the pitch of the teeth and 90t is the number of teeth on the gear.so its a 48° pitch gear with 90 teeth. its always important to make sure the spur gear and pinion gear are the same pitch. The pitch of each gear must be the same as the other in order for them to mesh properly.

What is the best gear ratio for acceleration?

Shorter gears (higher numbers) are much better suited for accelerating, such as 3.55, 3.73, 3.91’s, 4.11’s etc. Always remember, for very “give” there is a “take”. If you take lower gears to accelerate quickly from 0-60, you will give top-end speed.

How fast is a Velineon motor?

Already capable of 35+mph, these models will still benefit dramatically from the addition of a brushless system. The Velineon system consists of a new brushless motor and the powerful VXL-3s Electronic Speed Control.

What gear ratio is best for RC drag racing?

The Drag Slash’s standard 76/22 gearing is perfect for all-around driving fun.
