If you don't need that gear, just use a Dremel if you have one and grind it out. One of my Aveox came with a gear box and when I took the gear box out it had a 32 pitch pinion glued to the shaft. I did everything to try and get it out, but my Dremel needed some action :lol:. After your done just sand the shaft a bit with fine grit sand paper.

I usually use a chainsaw and a plasma cutter. It takes a bit of imagination to see how I did it that way.

I have had a pinion stuck on a shaft without using any threadlock

I don't actually recall having thread locker in my toolbox when I put the pinion on... -_-

I had the same issue - Almost busted the motor getting mine off - I now run a 5mm drill through my pinions before installing them...

Yeah. If I manage to get this pinion off, I'll be at least removing a little bit of material on the inside of the pinion. I haven't had a try at prying it off yet, as I'm still disassembling and cleaning my Revo. It probably won't happen until the weekend.
