Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. LM was designed for nitro .21. Comparison shot for you.

Looks like maybe a good drifter.

Thanks. More than likely my heavy throttle finger.

Thanks again.


With the 15/51 gearing & fast on road driving, we have never had the neu over 43 degrees celsius. On paper, I have alot of rpm, but realistically I would assume the LM's 3 diffs would be robbing some of that. The monster just sits there and does its job, quietly, efficiently & no fuss. I would also like to try 16,17 maybe 18 turn pinion now. But like many others, I would have to take the dremel to the mount in order for the larger pinions to fit. At one stage my LHS only had Novak Mod1 hardened steel pinions. At $29 each, they saw me coming!! There are hobbypro pinions now for $15, but I do not like the look of them. The novak mod1's have a longer neck and fit much easier to the motor shaft. I noticed a 3 pack at Tower, but they are/were out of stock. Also, as I mentioned, I changed the hex to 17mm to save my original landmax tyres for nitro. I need low profile tyres in the 90-95mm diameter range for the car to work and I have only ever found 2 sets. They are Louise pre glued rubbers and ATS foams. Again, around $30 for 2 at the LHS.
I'd like to post a CC Pro Tamiya F104 & CC Micro pro Xray M18 later. Under CC's as they use CC's.

Thanks again for looking,
Ooaroo
