Default Re: 55 turn still too fast!

hey guys ,
keep in mind , in case you are using a Tamiya MFU , the better choice is a gear-reduction and using a motor not much slower when like a 35 turn crawler motor ,
otherwise you are messing up the power-settings of the MFU unit , especially when you drive your truck without a trailer ( power-selector-switch in the 5th wheel )
For the guys been in Indy this year , my yellow Knigh Hauler is equipped with a 35 turn motor and a 5:1 reduction , which seamed to be just the right speed , even when driven in 3rd gear . And I also “timed” the 35 turn motor about 10 degrees fast , means I do have faster speeds in forward as in reverse.
