B5M championship edition

Post by thodgez28 »

Bought a B5M C edition. Wondering what the benefit of having a three and four gear tranny is? Which one is the best to use? Put an Orion 10.1 pro speed control and a vst2 7.5 Orion motor

difference between three and 4 gear trans relates to rotation of the motor. with the 4 gear, the torque of the motor will help the buggy squat vs wheelie, essentially weight transfer. this helps with handling depending on the traction of the surface you are running on in the corners.

It also has advantages on surface,

High Grip Turf/Carpet vs Clay and Dirt.
