Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. LM was designed for nitro .21. Comparison shot for you.

Thanks. More than likely my heavy throttle finger.

Thanks again.
With the 15/51 gearing & fast on road driving, we have never had the neu over 43 degrees celsius. On paper, I have alot of rpm, but realistically I would assume the LM's 3 diffs would be robbing some of that. The monster just sits there and does its job, quietly, efficiently & no fuss. I would also like to try 16,17 maybe 18 turn pinion now. But like many others, I would have to take the dremel to the mount in order for the larger pinions to fit. At one stage my LHS only had Novak Mod1 hardened steel pinions. At $29 each, they saw me coming!!
There are hobbypro pinions now for $15, but I do not like the look of them. The novak mod1's have a longer neck and fit much easier to the motor shaft. I noticed a 3 pack at Tower, but they are/were out of stock. Also, as I mentioned, I changed the hex to 17mm to save my original landmax tyres for nitro. I need low profile tyres in the 90-95mm diameter range for the car to work and I have only ever found 2 sets. They are Louise pre glued rubbers and ATS foams. Again, around $30 for 2 at the LHS.
I'd like to post a CC Pro Tamiya F104 & CC Micro pro Xray M18 later. Under CC's as they use CC's.
Thanks again for looking,
Ooaroo
