Thanks for taking the time and sharing this info 👍🏻🍻

Very cool knowledge , thanks for sharing your results ! It will save others a lot of time ! Thanks for the video !

That was a good tutorial on gearing a drag car. It really took off a couple of times but I understand the heat issue..it's been hot here in TN. I've been getting a lot of thermal shutdown on my trucks..fans have been a must. Great video 👍

cool information and testing

Thanks for sharing👍

I learn this from others youtubers, the higher the gear ratio you force the motor and esc to heat more faster, put more stress and heat, to prevent that you need a much better esc can handle the tires size and gear ratio

Depending on the transmitter, u can set a "soft start" aka "accel". Get rid of the whiplash effect in take off.

Dude Back off on the clutch Monitory our your 6 ft time until it’s Perfect. +-.05 constant ,then let see the 132 ft time The car has to go absolutely straight for 132 ft to get a consistent GPS read

At my local track with Porta Tree timing system, regeared 22S Drag cars with legal (2S) batteries typically run low 2.7's, high 2.6's around 48 mph. Chasing gearing with the GNSS is difficult because of their accuracy. It's also been my experience that to find the absolute best gearing for a particular car/motor, you need to let the motor completely cool and use a fresh off the charger batter each time. Otherwise, you're gonna find on subsequent passes that it losses a tenth or more after the initial run with the "perfect" gearing.

I was running 21/84 everything stock except the rear shocks and was using the mamba x esc and just spectrum 5000 mah 100c batteries. And 53mph at low 2.6’s at a local cash day’s using the traxxas tree timing system.

Pretty cool man..some good options in there don’t think it would be the battery

good sharing.

Nice video my friend 😍😍👍👍👍

Just came across this video, and you just mentioned one of your thoughts on being geared too high. I had the same experience with the esc cutting out before the finish line with 23/84 gearing, and I was using a brand new freshly, fully charged 8000mah 100c continuous (with 200c burst) battery. First 3 passes cut out before 132ft. I know it wasn’t too hot. The week before I used a 21/84, with a 5200mah 50c continuous (100c burst) battery, and I was able to get complete runs, without the esc cutting out before 132ft. I thought I would bump up to 23/84, with the more powerful battery, the next weekend, but the esc couldn’t handle it. I programmed the esc to give me the 5th level of punch (the highest), and the 8th level of timing, (the highest), and then I re calibrated the throttle, neutral, brake, (I guess they call that calibrating the transmitter/esc). I changed the pinion back down to 13/84, and tried it out on just a storage charge, (3.8 volt per cell). It did not cut out, battery was not fully charged, but got 2.84 46mph. Tomorrow the battery will be charged all the way. Tires will be sauced, wish me luck. But yeah, I think that stock esc, and motor, cannot handle that much torque, or too tall of gearing, for sure.

Best videos. For example team associated dr10 thanks 😊 about gears have a great time.

I thought it would be alot faster than a geared up DR10 stock, but its wasnt really. It all comes down to tuning it seems with these RTR drag cars, which is true for all cars really, it was faster, bit not all that much quicker, sometimes not quicker at all. Good test!

Hey I’m a new subscriber to the channel , your content is awesome, I just bought the Losi 22s roller kit , thats how I stumbled onto your videos looking up what I can do to make this thing better , my question is , do you think I should go with the electronics that the car comes stock with ? Or should I go with something different, I wish I was able to get the rtr but my funds at the time weren’t great lol

Your Chevelle is beautiful 🎉

i found on stock electronics that 84/21 worked best for me ET was 2.54 at 56mph, Punch level 5 and Esc timing on Level 8. Good video! Anything over 21T pinion causes it to Cog off the line...

Just replaced differential had spur gear out, looking for tips on adjustment for the spur gear with the spring, i noticed on launches it’s less aggressive which is good for now then ramps in down track, want to dial in this adjustment if possible

Love your site for info just got my first R/C Losi Summit Chevy SS going to run 3s battery in it, i am old school just turned 64 can you tell me what gears i need to have a 3:73 gear ratio. Thanks for any help you can give me Gil.. Ill check back later and let you know how it went.. Thanks Again

Nice video!! I’m getting 2.710 @52 mph with a 19t pinion gonna try some other ones soon

So your results are specific to your motor, correct? If I have a 4.5T motor, which the manufacturer suggest a gearing ratio of 7.5:1 to 8.2:1, what size pinion should I be using?

Out the box no mods I got 2.89 @ 49mph. 5000mah 100c. I don't know if maybe the gnss is wrong.

cool 😎

I've heard the 22s is illegal in some drag classes. Is that true?

Are these runs on 2S or 3s lipo ??

im new to this hobby. ive had my car for a week. stock slipper piled and have an 84 on order. was able to put an 87 tooth in the car with the stock 16t pinion. the car launces way better and seems way faster. but seems to go against all the information ive been reading. everyone says go up bigger on the pinion. would anyone be able to offer me some insight

I was running better that that on stock.. r u doing burnouts? I don’t understand..and I was only using a 75c battery… 2.910 at 47 mph.. not I put a 21 in and I haven’t tried it yet.. also removed my cover cause of the axel.. if u can get it dialed in so it’s running straight instead of doing a lot of steering input that would help.. I also use a floor mat out of my car to do a burn out on.. I will try and run it this weekend and let u know how it does..

3s?

So realistically nothing made a huge difference
