Whos got one!?
 
Come on then, own up, who has one ? aparently they are in general circulation now ?!?
I spoke to someone yesterday who along with a couple of mates all have them, and had various problems with skipping belts and the like.. I have to say I had no problems like that at all with mine, it was spot on. Bit tight when first built but freed up nicely after a couple of runs or so.

Mine has been together for a couple of weeks already, however I am still waiting for all my electronics to come back from getting tuned and reprogrammed. :cool: I think I will be putting the kids radio in this week just to fix my need. Any advise on the gearing with 27t 19t and a mod of about 9 turn. Those long pinions will be hard to find in the Canadian prairies and I would like to be somewhat successful first time at the track.

I ran a 22t pinion on my 12, Id stick the kit pinion on your 9. maybe 25/26 on your 19 turn.. not sure about 27 as ive never used one.


reprogrammed ? that sounds a bit fancy :o

make sure to get it on some rough stuff, the car floats over it so nicely, makes it worth it! :)

The pinions are made by RW or Corally and are called long boss pinions

jimmy 26-04-2006 05:53 PM

Oh, long pinions.. missed that bit off..

I used normal ones on mine, never thought twice about it.

jimmy 26-04-2006 05:59 PM

Just had another look and normal pinions fit fine, theres not a whole lotta shaft but the shaft on all my motors extends well past the grub screw and the pinion has a firm base.

Bathy 26-04-2006 10:15 PM

I would like one!

Mike_stening 27-04-2006 09:12 AM

jimmy 27-04-2006 09:15 AM

Done! :jimmeh just want to polish it a little more... no point chucking out a half arsed effort is there. I have to say though, I'm quite pleased with how it looks. Had my team of oOples checking it over last night.:D

Mike_stening 27-04-2006 11:43 AM

jimmy 27-04-2006 12:11 PM

jimmy 27-04-2006 12:51 PM

She was mostly laughing at my use of phrases like "locate the absconders" in the review :p

emzy 27-04-2006 01:11 PM

Which I was rather impressed by!
