Do you happen to know the milliohms of the team powers 17.5 motor. Im also trying to fund the best gear ratio for this 2wd RC10B6.4 with the 17.5 motor. I'm running a 72 spur and 29 pinion. Do you have any recommendations? Thank you
Good questions. I do not have the milliohms for the TP motors. I have not run a B6.4 but the gearing will depend on your timing. The 17.5T seems high. We usually run 13.5T on 4WD buggies. Your timing will be around 45 degrees. If you have a 72 and 29... you will probably need to gear up a bit. Go up two teeth and watch temps. I would not be surprised if you end up in the 30s in a slow track or even 40s in a fast track. Keep me posted.
@telecomandorc thank you. I went to a 31 pinion and 72 spur based on my track owners suggestion and the car was ripping. Dropped my times from 20ish seconds to 18.6. I'm just getting back into racing after a 30 year hiatus. I raced an RC10T2 back in tbe 90s on dirt. So carpet is new to me. Im only about 3 weeks into it and lowering my times steadily. At our course 2wd buggies and 17.5 are what we run the most. I habe my team powers actinium v5 set at 49 degrees timing. Again based on a setup sheet the guys at the track created. I keep playing with the timing. I can run for 10ish minutes easy and stay under Temps but I do have a motor and esc fan going. Alot of people ditch the esc fans on 17.5 for weight cause they don't run as hot. But for practice laps I leave the esc fan on. I want my electronics to last and stay as cool as possible. Great channel and thanks for the response. You still have me wanting to try the fantom motor but I can't justify another motor yet lol
@@LegendsPizzaCo I must say, over 1 sec. improvement is impressive on its own. Well done. Now that is great that you have a 17.5T class for all. Here we have a 17.5T for 2WD buggy but 13.5T for 4WD buggy and open SCT. IT takes away from the handling aspect a little. The Fantom is a sweet motor. But I am with you. It is hard to justify right now and getting to know the car and setup is far better at this point. I am glad you are back into RC.
I bought the rocket v6 motor and very impressed with the numbers on paper. Gonna swap the actinium v5 for the rocket v6 and see what the real world test results show on the track
Thanks for sharing - might be worth checking if the 17.5 V5 is properly shimmed? Mine is showing (sorry I don't have a gauss meter) on the skyrc: 43(reported) degrees: 2948kv 4.3A 48: 3081kv 5.7A The kv difference is probably not noticeable, but the higher amperage surely matters through heat/battery life.
True. It could also be the instrument. Xtracrispy lent me his SkyRC analyzer and the Kv or the A were a bit different. So, I just use the same machine. But, you are right. Shimming could do it too.
Rounding 25.5mm Gauss was under 1700 gauss in one and over 1700 in the other. The rotors have the same part number. If you go to 2:35 the table shows more rotors too.

Very nice. Let me know what your thoughts are after you run it.

Based on these results do you prefer tne fantom helix over the team powers actinium v5
I do. And after running them for a while, I really like the Helix.
Could you please tell me what size rotors are in the 17.5 and 13.5 motors?
Rounding 25.5mm
Gauss was under 1700 gauss in one and over 1700 in the other. The rotors have the same part number.
