A new toy for me!

Yeah I usually set them by feel as well, even the 32p gears and the mini-t gears, whatever pitch they are. It seems to work because I've never stripped a spur.

I don't know what you have in your tool box, but if you're always taking em apart and putting em together like me. Then let me suggest, you need one of these.

I cut the bend off some allen wrenches. The chuck on this locks when it's not under power. Just break em loose and run em on out. When tightening just let off when you feel the end is near, then put the final twist on with the grip. It works good and REALLY speeds things up. Just thought I would pass this along.

Oh to match the thread, I used this on my E maxx.

We've got gears!

This is RCM's 25 tooth mod 1 pinion mated to a 40 tooth Revo spur.

I haven't got to try it yet, but it's looking pretty promising.

Looks good Sike, how much smaller pinions could you fit before the motor makes contact with the tranny?

[sikeston34m]

You could probably go down to an 18t or a 20t pinion on the 40t spur.

I know the 22t mod 1 pinion I have will work with the 36t spur, but that's just about the limit.

Notice how much adjustment there is left in the motor mount slide?

A setup like this on a Mean lower kv inrunner would be awesome also, for you guys that are looking for tougher ways to gear up.

Good to hear, I will try the 2826/12 on 5s with 40/22 gearing. Can't wait for traxxas to bring out the 2 speed tranny.

Hey Linc,

Look what the UPS truck just delivered.
