48dp to 32dp pinion
 

My SCT came with a 48dp pinion, problem is i have bought a larger motor with 5mm shaft. I cant find any 48dp 5mm shaft pinions, will a 32dp pinion work or wont it mesh properly ??

It will only work if you have a 32dp spur.

You are probably best off getting a mode 1 pinion and spur.

so whats the difference between mod 1 and a 32/48dp ??

The pitch of the teeth. you need to run the same pitch on both gears so that they can mesh together.

bugger, spoke to modelsport who have cancelled my 32dp order (big thanks to them !)

Also spoken to Neil @ RWRacing and he has a 21T 48dp 5mm shaft pinion already made - £9 lighter and its on its way = happy days :thumbsup: big big big thanks to Neil :D

5mm shaft sounds like a big motor, big motors = big torque = stripped gears. Go easy on it or you'll be ordering mod 1 spur and pinion.

YEah have already turned the punch down on the ESC and have a handful of Kevlar spur gears just in case :thumbsup:
