Crt .5 mount in store!
 

Hey guys just saw the new mount mike just listed!

I can wait to see what he has in store for the spur issue! :)

Sweet! I knew it wouldn't be long. The spur solution shouldn't be too far behind...

Awesome, now I only need the spur, pinions and a motor...unless I use my 380C 9T.

okay... we're almost there. I want to place 1 order: mount, spur conversion and pinions (which pitch to buy). It is nice to see the mount. Holding off till the spur is done....

I went ahead and ordered the mount. It's risky to wait since Mike could go out of stock on the mounts by the time the spur is ready.

DARN! u beat me LOL

ohh well, looks AWSOME! and cheap!

Will this mount be compatible with the new (soon to be available) spur options? I assume so, however thought it better to be certain.

Jon

thats great news, I will have to take a look at it.

Sweet!! Too bad I scraped this project and am finishing the buggy... but then again, finishing the buggy isn't bad.

The idea is to use a plastic spur that will allow the use of the factory chassis holes - so, the spur will be a custom type that will allow this. However, I don't expect the spur to be as cheap as the typical Kyosho since it will be custom.

With the hardened pinions i don't think you really need a plastic spur anymore. They seem to be tough.

They do seem tough, providing mesh is correct and consistent (no flex). I just wonder about longevity compared to plastic on steel. Also, they're louder when running. Still much quieter than a nitro though. :)

Where can I get mod 1 hardened 1/8 bore pinions? I do not see them on Mike's site.

Thanks...
Jon

they are currently only available in 5mm bore, maybe soon in 3.2 (1/8th)

Mike does have (or can get/make) a little adaptor sleeve that lets you use 1/8" shaft on a 5mm bore.
