I've seen them, but unfortunately, they only sell like 19-20t pinions. I need a 14-15t. So I've been boring out RRP Extra Hard 5mm Pinions. Last one worked great! Until I used my old tools to try and take out the set screw... I need a new 2mm hexdriver, just a few bucks I guess.

Typically what I do is cut off an allen wrench, and put it in my drill chuck so I have a hex screwdriver. Be sure you cut it straight though, it's very easy to cut it crooked and then it spins wildly in a cone-formation.

Losi hex drivers all the way. Best that I have tried, but I hear the hudy drivers are nice too.

Kb 45xl is about the same size as an lehner 2250 just that it's no where nearly as efficient.

A 557g 80% efficient motor should heat up as much as an 280g 90% efficient motor (neu 1512) while doing the same work.

While they could sustain the same kind of load by their thermal design, the kb45 would feel much more powerful as well it is because of it's extra winding and magnet mass...

I believe that you should treat a kb45xl as a rougher neu 1512...

Linc had said, "Lois hex drivers all the way," when he obviously meant Losi.

I made a poor attempt at humor by referencing another member of Family Guy.

I think I'm hilarious, but I tend to laugh alone more often than not. I'm not quite sure what that means.
