RC10 CE 6 Gear Pinion??

[Albertini]

I'm trying to resist the temptation of running my RC10 and let it just sit on the shelf as it has for the last year but I think i'm going to give in and give it a blast

The first hurdle though (apart from tyres) is the motor pinion. The one that came with it is normal (b4) pitch(?) and dosen't match the 6 gear's spur. What do I need ?

I'm not likely to run anything more than a 19t so not sure where I should start gearing it from either? Any help would be much appreciated?

Thanks

Hi, the stock setup is a 15 tooth 32 pitch gear. Thery're still available if you google around a bit.

You're prob wise to run milder motors with the 6 gear. The nylon idler gears in there are soft (esp after 20 odd years), and fail easily. I've gone through 3 gears in the last year running a 13double...

Amazingly, they're still available and CML still stock them. I ordered some from them through their shopatron website system the other week, and I had them in 24 hours. Amazing.

Here's a pic from the manual with the stock pinion.

Cheers!

Yep 32dp back in those days, I may be wrong but do some tamiya cars still run 32? If this is the case you should be able to get a pinion sorted. give amc a ring they have loads of old stuff in the bottom of the draws.
