I've done a lot of searching, but can't seem to find a good answer to this question.

I am upgrading my RC10T that has a stock Stealth (but now with a b4 slipper setup) to a Tacon 11T 3200kv brushless setup, using a Hobbywing Xerun 60a ESC. Any thoughts on where to begin with gearing? I am running 87T spur with 18T pinion on my mild modified brushed setup currently, but I dont think that kind of ratio (4.83) is recommended for brushless.

Is there a good target ratio I should be moving to with this kind of brushless setup?

Thanks everybody!

I can tell you that on my 10T using the Tacon 2950KV and a 35A Hobbywing ESC with 2s Gens Ace lipo, I'm geared at 81/26. The motor and ESC never get hot after a 8min. main. It has tons of torque and accelerates to nearly 40mph on the straights in a 1/8 scale track. I generally lower the timing from 0 to 15 degrees max.

Awesome - thanks, Joel - I will start there!
