Does anyone know if tamiya's other pinion are long like that, specifically the 17-19 tooth. 3. Can anyone confirm that the 501 we body and undertray are a direct fit for the 511 chassis? 4. I think I read that Jimmy is running standard pinion gears on bl motors with only a small bit of the pinion touching the spur...anyone have a picture example of this??
Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
thanks in advance,

Hi Mike, I use the 501x shell and undertray on the 511 no probs,you can use a standard 48dp pinion on the 511 but it is on the end of the motor shaft on a novak brushless but it does reach the centre of the spur gear no probs, a good trick is to use a 87t spur gear from associated it's a direct fit and easier to get hold of at a race meeting and is a better fit on the layshaft.For a 6.5t motor I use a 19t pinion on the 87t spur on lipo, hope this helps
