The gears are scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday so I will let you know. If these gears aren't hardened you could always just drill and tap a set screw hole yourself. Sears sells individual drill and tap sets that range from $4 to $7. Are you goung to grind a flat on the motor shaft for the set screw to hold onto? Are you going to put 2 set screws in the pinion?

I ordered (3) 30mm by 30mm peltier coolers for cooling. They will work great for the ESC but a fan will probably be easier for the motor, because of the round shape.

I ordered some of those Jim Williams strap mounts for the motor. He is about 3 weeks behind making mounts though.

Do you think it would add too much weight to go 10S2P on the batteries?
