Still waiting for the MT410 kit and going to bed late every night reading up . . . . I really need help understanding gear ratio and motor KV. Am thinking that a Castle Mamba X 25.2 WP ESC with the 1515-2200kV sensored motor. Sensored motor is good but this kV stuff. I know electricity ohms law, watts, amps and all that. But gearing is killing me. I get the fact that high gears give you higher end speed and stresses the motor more getting to speed. And lower gearing gives you more torque and less top end speed and less stress on the engine. And that's where my understanding ends. Hell this is a MT. I don't want to go 50 mph. I wanna do willies and flips and jumps at least try.
So what do you experienced guys say for a starting gear(s) and motor kV. I think that no matter what I do am gonna end up with a few gears . . .
Really appreciate the help! Not sure I would have attempted a kit without knowing this forum was here. This is a great Tekno support! Am confident I can follow directions and build this MT with quality. But figuring out the dam parts to put into it I thought would have been easier. It's actually challenging. For the radio I decided the Futaba 4PM and I'll figure out the telemetry receiver stuff later. The body and tires/wheels there are plenty of recommendations but gearing . . . these gears 15T and kV determines the rpm I just don't get it. Thanks bros, you guys deserve a beer or/and toke and I could help with both
