Default Re: 55 turn still too fast!

You can order it directly from Integy or I know a guy who has a couple. Here is the part # C22726SILVER for some reason the silver one is half the price of the blue one but they are identical other than color. The package says 2.5 ratio but it has a second gear in it for 3.9:1.

hey guys ,
keep in mind , in case you are using a Tamiya MFU , the better choice is a gear-reduction and using a motor not much slower when like a 35 turn crawler motor ,
otherwise you are messing up the power-settings of the MFU unit , especially when you drive your truck without a trailer ( power-selector-switch in the 5th wheel )
For the guys been in Indy this year , my yellow Knigh Hauler is equipped with a 35 turn motor and a 5:1 reduction , which seamed to be just the right speed , even when driven in 3rd gear . And I also “timed” the 35 turn motor about 10 degrees fast , means I do have faster speeds in forward as in reverse.

Brian,

After seeing and operating Travis' rigs at Indy I'm hooked on the Integy reduction he has mentioned! In fact I ordered 2 off the bay last night...
