Howdy, I've got a gen 1 Ruckus. I just put the Castle Creations SCT Combo into it, with Sidewinder 3 ESC and 3800Kv 4-pole motor. I have all metal gearing and Hot Racing steel star drive CV's, and Traxxas aluminum turnbuckles on all 4 corners. Running on Dynamite 3300 MaH 7 cell nimh (but about to go LiPo). Stock 87T spur, haven't bought pinion yet.
Does anyone have a rough top speed estimate for this setup? I know that the SCT combo has been gaining popularity in ECX 1/10th's and I don't own a radar gun.
Also, I don't know what type pinion I should get. Castle recomends 48P 10-14 tooth pinions in the Ruckus with the stock 87T 48P spur. However, I have heard of people running pinions in the same setup as high as 21T. Obviously, I would like to avoid over-gearing. Any ideas?
Thanks.
