DIfficult to say since the photos are a little bit dark. Can you post up some more pics so we can see what you are trying to do? The project looks clean, but hard to see.

OK Jerry2KONE, but just give me sometime...for your info, the ESC is the Speed Passion Silverarrow 1/8 ESC, and the Motor is the Silverarrow 6.5R V10. I did put everything together

and did the test run last nite

with a HotRacing 21T Pinion Gear

and 2 8.4V 4600mAh Eastpower Battery

But I found out that the ESC won't take anything that's more than 14.8V

so I'll have to get 2 more packs of 7.2V battery(THAT'S REALLY SUCKS BIG TIME!!!) But that's not the MAIN PROBLEM, the problem is that the HotRacing 21T Pinion Gear's Screw is LOOSE

I mean after I put that tiny screw in the pinion hole, the tiny screw SWING LIKE HELLLLLLLLLLLL. Now, I've to wait for my friend to order another pinion and that'll take at least 5-10 days from HotRacing

Or maybe I should just get other Brand Name Pinion Gear instead!!! Anyway, will keep in touch

P.S. any suggestion about the pinion gear??? I'm using the STOCK SPUR GEAR, 68-TOOTH (0.8 METRIC PITCH)

JERRY2KONE · **Not sure. -** 02.17.2009, 11:59 PM

Not too sure without seeing the pinion gear, but I drill & tap out most of my setscrew holes and install the next size up. It is my experience that the little tiny 3mm setscrews are just to small and weak to holdup, and usually end up stripping either the head or the hole. I believe that all of mine are now 4mm hard steel setscrews with blue loctite(http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXLR68), and they hold up much better for me. In some cases I even place some shrinkwrap over the gear end to keep the setscrew from comming out even if it does come loose depending on the location or access. Good luck with your setup and we look forward to seeing your updates and photos.

Your setup looks nice and clean. Much better pictures, thank you. Are you sure that the large double disc slipper will fit on the 68t spur? Just asking since there are two sizes for the RR DD slipper kits. Anyway I have never seen that ESC before. What? Where? How? Who? It looks like a very nice design. I like the metal vented protective covering. Looks cool. Please share your test results with us once you get it up and running.
