So as it looks atm, 6 mm shaft? And how do you guys think it will fit Muggy w/RCM motor mount?

it wont without modification,the rcm muggy mount is ment for 3mm screws and this motor uses 4mm screws

ok, so just make the hole slots in the mount 1mm larger then?

Para:yeah that was lame but really that's all I ended up doing but it took me about two hours. I just didn't want to fubar it up. The flat spot was stripping The sand off the sand paper strips, my files just smoothed over and buffed the shaft, So I whipped out the Dr with the cutoff wheel for most of it.

I think a flat piece of grinding stone would have been the ticket, and some way to hold it parallel to the motor shaft. Maybe have a pivot so that you could "feed" it towards the motor shaft as the shaft is spinning.

A custom front motor cover would be a better idea - it would be easy enough to make the front cover attach via the m4 motor holes and leave a pair of m3 tapped holes to attach to the motor mount.

Have you thought about offering the RCM Pinion Gears with a 6mm bore?

Looks like the demand for these will be on the increase.

Any chance of getting you to make some of these? What options would we have as far as pinions? Because I like to run huge tires I need a smaller one than others are going to need so I may be SOL but it would be nice to have some for the other people that don't need smaller pinions (I'll need 10-12T). I may also mod my CD mount to accept a 51T spur, which would open up a lot of gearing options.

Ya ditto...also I would buy a couple 6mm pinions

Put me down for several.....

Maybe Castle could send folks looking for 6mm pinions your way...

I hadn't thought about 6mm bore pinions, actually - even with this motor I think the demand will be quite small in the grand scheme of things. If I did do hardened 6mm pinions, I wouldn't offer the whole range for sure.

Here is a picture of how my shaft re-size turned out. A good digital caliper is a must. I also kept an old rotor magnet close to the grinding to snatch any metal bits in addition to punching the shaft out of a zip lock bag. http://i300.photobucket.com/albums/n...d/DSC07227.jpg

Nice job on that

snellemin · 12.14.2009, 01:04 PM

Looks good man. Picture kinda says: "Hey, look at my "shaft"!"

Unsullied_Spy · 12.14.2009, 09:37 PM

It's here! I think I'll just grind my shaft down, I've been waiting for nearly a year for these to come out so I'm a bit uneasy grinding it down but here goes nothing...

The pics (and a little hand porn):

This thing is massive, in person it just dwarfs my 2650. I haven't run it yet, but THANK YOU CASTLE for making this motor. I really wish the Monster Truck versions would come with a shaft suited for a Monster Truck pinion but hopefully future versions will have a 5mm shaft. This should be all the motor we can handle for 1/8th scale.
