These gearings should
be used as a starting point, but the motor and ESC temperatures
should always be used to determine the final gearing.
Neither the motor (with
sintered rotor) nor the ESC should be hotter than 160 to 175° F
after a five minute run. If either temperature is higher than 160
to 175° F , the gearing should be lowered until both the ESC and
the motor (with the sintered rotor) are under this temperature.
Over gearing the motor
will result in excessive operating temperatures, which may result
in internal damage. This type of damage is not covered under the
product’s warranty.
The cooler the ESC
runs, the better the performance of the system.
