13.5 Gear Setup

Hi,

I have just purchased myself my first onroad car, and I'm trying to understand the gearing ... T4 14model

I race the car mainly indoor on carpet, and it would be smallish in size, I run a 13.5 motor - how do I work out what is the best gearing ?

I will also run the car on a medium / large outdoor track - would the gearing be different being a larger track ? Slower accelerating but larger top speed ?

Cheers for the help.

Mike

Are you running 13.5 in blinky mode?

It is super stock so open. Can run boost etc

Indoor; 7.5
Outdoor; 6.5

I would keep an eye on motor temperatures, and that gearing is estimates based on the 13.5 boosted I run as I don't know the actual tracks.
Should give you a reasonable starting point.

Max temps really depends on the manufacturer you choose, but in their instructions they usually tell you the temps.

Hello. With 13.5 motor you have not enough traction power. By this reason I recommended use the smallest spur/pinion depends on regulations and track conditions.
