Kid, I would suggest that when you get your car, run it and see what you think. As stated earlier, it is going to be plenty fast for you at the beginning. This large scale is about more than just speed. Even if you are faster than your friends, driving this car takes a different approach...

This is my last reply to this and I will just let it go. It does not matter how many teeth are on the gears or how they are cut. Going up to 18 teeth from 17 teeth on the pinion should make the pinion gear physically larger in diameter which in effect would lower the leverage factor of the...

I understand what you are saying, but to me, ANY gear change without re setting the gearmesh is just shade tree mechanics. It's that simple. If it works for you, though I can't see how, so be it I guess. Don't kid yourself, though. After Titanic hit the iceberg, it floated, but was still...

I see what you are saying, but I will give $100 to whomever can, on a T Maxx, SUCCESSFULLY go up 5 teeth on the pinion and NOT adjust the motor position. No way, unless you were running with too much backlash to begin with. Even then, I say, no way. Steve Z

Pinion Gears GENTLEMEN, I was just on ebay, and I saw an auction for some 5B pinion gears from Germany, which I am sure you have all seen. Upon close inspection of the photo of these gears, each appears to have a different profile gear tooth. I had never seen this before. For example...

Turtle, Thank you! I know that many of our fellow members reading this may not understand these situations as well as you and I. In no way is my intent to confuse and or criticize anyones mechanical understanding. I have worked in the retail hobby industry for a long time, and my...

The engine being solidly mounted is due to the fact that the engine is a stressed part of the chassis. It actually accounts for the rigidity of the rear chassis, which is fine. That is why many people have experienced broken lugs on the flywheel covers. My point is that there are two logical...

Gears I Find It Hard To Believe That Hpi Takes The Time To Worry About Problems That Have Yet To Surface, Yet Overlook The Obvious. How Is A Heatsink Supposed To Work Under A Gear Cover That Prevents Air Flow? Either Way, Has Anyone Encountered The Problem Of Overheated Pinions And Melted Spur...
