The mount was originally designed to use the stock 48pitch gears off an E-Maxx. I like the Mod 1's because they are stronger. I guess I could drill and re-tap some new holes to allow me more adjustment, but there isn't much selection in Mod 1 pinions with a 3mm bore hole and the largest spur traxxas makes for the Revo is a 40. I could probably mod a truggy spur to fit, but that would be more work. And on the track I race on, 36 mph top speed and super strong accelleration works out perfectly.
Maybe "machine" out the mesh slots on the mount for more range??

BTW: The person who made your mount actually uses 32p gears IIRC. Maybe see if the Jato 54T spur fits there? It might not since it is kinda large in diameter compared to the Mod1 40T, but might fit since you have the spur spacer...
