haha adam, i dont think a 15T will fit in the current rear gearbox, as it is a 14T is already just nice and the belt feels just right too. I wonder what do you mean by few things, when i will only have the layshaft for sale ?

iso, please watch out for the pulley width. if i am not mistaken the belt width for the Lazer is 5mm, so the pulley must be at least 5.5mm wide internally. and if possible in 14T, perhaps a drift car pulley could work? i will try to search for the yokomo DRB or some drift car pulley. also the tf4 has been obsolete since 2005. may not be so wise to choose this car's parts.

Welshy, i dont think thats necessary, a pin slot type pulley like my Kawada touring car should work great. on the kawada TC, there is no allen key grub screw, you just slide in the pulley and tighthen the side nuts, usually with a small amount of play sidewards, and i never had any problems on my TC even with a lot of boost and turbo on my ESC. When you place in the one way and the end locknut, that is enough to keep the pulley from sliding left and right.
