Taigen King Tiger gear replacement
Posted: Mon Aug 27, 2018 8:11 pm
My partners KT stripped a gear today, so we are looking for suggestions as to what to replace it with.
On the rctank.de site there are a few choices. I seem to remember the ones fitted now are 4:1? (Its a nitrotek full metal jobby) They are the alloy ones and clearly not strong enough for a heavy tank on rougher ground and inclines.
They have 2 different RMP on the 4:1 boxes, 18k on the 380 motor and 22k on the 390 motors. There is also a 5:1 set with 360 motors. We will be keeping the standard Taigen RX18 controller so dont want to overload it.
Is it JUST RPM thats different or is there a tourque difference too?
This KT already has metal tracks and drive wheels.
Suggestions?
EDIT: PS I also assume that the rctank.de ones are all steel gears and not the wek alloy ones
