Wheels vs gears...

[Vtx_f]

I have an MT V3 with the stock gear set up. I just got a set of (new) tt rims and tires for 60 bucks!!! Should I be looking to change gears set up due to the wheels being so much smaller? It's a pretty big difference and I'm kind of new to the hobby. Thanks in advance for any info...

What are you looking for,more top or bottom end? I may stand to be corrected but I think smaller wheels will give you quicker accelleration but you will loose the top end.

Yes u want to go up,switch to the buggy ratio,you can get on the red cat site to get the buggy set.

Get the 29-31s. You can swap them 31-29 for even more top end.

I'll be doing the same thing, thanks for this.

This is another option. The ratio is 1 to 1. Would be the same as 30-30 gearing. They should be available in about a month.

So far so good. I should have more soon. We are going to throw a couple of them on 7hp OBRs and see how they do.

I've got a 5hp+ MT (ESP ported Zenoah) if you need another tester.

How much, and how readily available are the belts themselves?
