Anyone have any tips on how to remove the small pin in the attached pic? I tried briefly but couldn't seem to get it to move. I didn't try to hard cause I didn't want to make it more difficult than it needs to be. Figured I ask some of the veterans. Thanks.

There's a grub screw inside the hub that you need to undo first

Awesome. Thank you!

By the way, I ordered that belt drive kit you recommended.

Do you by any chance know how the ratio changes, if any? Not much info out there on it.

If you've bought the same one as me it's 1:1

The standard DR is 1.06:1 so the belt will give a slightly higher top speed

Cool. Pretty sure it's the same one... I ordered the kit from the guy in Germany. I should receive it tomorrow or Friday. :D

If you had 1.06 maybe it was because yours was actually an HSP if I remember correctly. My V3 DR has 0.987:1, so the belt drive would actually take away a little top speed.

Mine actually came with 25:35 but I changed to 29:31 teeth.

You must be running 31:29

But the belt drive replaces the entire a-b-c-d mechanism, right? So the ratio on gears offers higher top speed than the one on belt drive. Marginally, but still. I'm thinking about getting the "v8" version of the belt drive, which has multiple ratios, 0.9 through to 1.1

Theoretically yes but the less friction of the belt allows higher revs.

The V8 is always and option if you feel you need more speed.

One day I'll get the wife over her fear of flying the Phantom for me and do a vid.

After crashing my Thunder Cat a while back she's too scared to touch the controller on the Phantom and I can't control both at once.
