5mm bore, mod1 pitch pinion
 

As I understand it Mike is the only fella that sells 5mm bore, mod1 pitch pinion gears. I've been waiting weeks for him to get them in stock and unfortunately its holding up completion of my emaxx. I happen to have an extra UE idler gear if anyone wants to trade for a 20 or 18 tooth pinion gear.

These are the items Im going to purchase. No point in buying though if the pinion is out of stock.

BK Electronics Wanderer "9XL" Brushless Motor
Warrior 9920 Brushless Car Controller
5mm bore, mod1 pitch pinion 18/20 tooth
RC-Monster Brushless Heatsink/clamp
Strobe Slipper Kit w/Bearings
External BEC/UBEC
Nylon 51 tooth spur gear - Ofna
5.5 mm connectors

I was wondering if there is a different BL motor that uses a common pinion gear found at a LHS? Maybe I should just go with a different motor :032:

I ordered from starluck rc for some pinions.(RC monster never has any)

Not sure if they work or not but I should be seeing them today.

I just ordered one from starluck - all they had was 14T and smaller. I also have a 20T from Mike. I like the ones Mike makes, they are a little trimmer and fit better in the casing.

I am pretty new at this, but the 9XL is a great motor for the price. I had to wait several weeks for the parts too, but well worth the wait.

I have a similar set up as you:

8XL with heat sink (definitely get the heat sink!)
12020
strobe slipper
UBEC

The 20T gets the controller just a touch on the warm side, so I am waiting for the 18T. If I could re-do it, I would have bought both.

I would suggest waiting, BUT order what is in stock now.

Thanks guys but tower only has 13 tooth pinions and Starluck only has 14 tooth pinions.

I need a 18 or 20 tooth pinion :012:

Mike has them coming....if they are not in already, he has to mod them a little and they will be available, hold on, they will be there!

Im sure Mike will get them by the end of next week. Patience is key, my friend.

Monday this week i think it was he said he should have this friday or something, but i know it was this week...thne he had to do mods? somethin like that, and yes, patience and Mike delivers!

I would wait for RC monster, but I just received mine from starluck rc and it looks excatly the same as RC monster's pinions.

Capitol, the mod1 5mm pinions are in!
