At first I thought it was that particular type of motor(novak); but when I tried it with an orion motor it was the same problem...
Has anyone come across this?
Well...

First it's the same thing with every car, even on the RB5 you can't run anything smaller than a 22 (same as on the MCS).

On the other hand, if you're having to run such a pinion, then you're most likely using a motor that's way too fast.

For example even with a 6.5 Craig runs a 23T pinion, and Nathan even used a 5.5 in the car running a 22.

So the question is, what motor are you running???
