Also, any ideas how I would get in touch with mike? I would like to buy a 2 speed adapter from him, but need it to have a 6mm bore to fit my kb45 motor. I would drill it out myself, but do not want it to wobble. I am sure that mike's equipment is better than mine!

The gears I'm talking about wouldnt be for everyday use. WAY to tall of a gearing setup. He has the adapter and gears ready to go for most "normal" 2 speed conversion applications. I think you might have a problem with the 6mm hole though... There isnt a whole lot of room inside there to make the hole bigger. It migh be possible though. You can reach mike at rcmonstermike@gmail.com

I have tried that email address twice now, I will give him a few more days!

There should be enough material to enlarger the hole to 6mm. The stock losi clutch bell uses a 5x10mm bearing, and still allows for the thread on gears.

And I would not use them for everyday use. I am building a on road car, for straightline speed, if it all goes well. I will test it with a more sane setup first and then increase the speed to test the aerodymanic requirements. I have already done this with a 10th scale car, so I have some ideas what will work!
