hello there.
i want to throw a kb inrunner 2300kv on a sportswerks mayhem truggy, only thing missing right now is pinions for 6mm kb aksel.. any suggestions on where to get those ?
i got som 5mm pitch 32 pinions but its hardened steel from plettenberg so not sure if they can be drilled..

hope to hear some good advices from you guys :)
best regards from denmark

In this thread you can find some information where to buy 6mm pinons:

You could also turn down the shaft to 5mm, then you would be able to use the pinions you already own.

thanks BL-Power..
why didnt i think of that :D i have done it before with 2,3mm to 2mm for 1:18 cars. i think i will go that route this time also. thanks for quick help
bye

Is the bolt pattern on these motors the same as normal 540 motors?

No, the kb has a 30mm pattern, nit the usually 25mm. Plus it has m4 threads, not the m3 in a std 540. I make my own motor mounts most of the time, so it is not a big deal for me.

I want to use it with the savage conversion and it would be a shame not to use that beautiful motor mount.

Thanks lincpimp you seem to be answering all my questions today.

No problem, I am sure that mike can whip you up a motor mount to handle the kb 45. I may use my kb45 8l in my savage conversion, (just bought mikes chassis and a ss kit) and I will make my own front mount. Mike's chassis sure is nice.

I am only able to answer them all as you are asking about things I know. Ask a question about a neu motor and I will be quiet!

I'd have to be able to afford one first :lol:.

Right there with you. I have issues buying a 300 dollar motor. I have spent some money on this hobby. I usually try to find hacker motors for sale. They have plenty of power and work wel with a MM. Most of the time they can be had for around 100 bucks. I will also say that the cheaper (feigao, KB) motors work much better with over 5s lipo. I have an emaxx with a feigao 15l (1600kv) on 5s and it runs fine, with great temps and tons of power. I have a feeling that the lower qaulity is more of an issue at higher amp draws, as seen with the higher kv motors.

The price to performance ratio is a bit high with the current neu motors, I think. I still want one but I probably will never get one. The MMM version sounds more affordable and the ratio will probably be a lot better if it ever comes out.
