Looks like a 48dp pitch spur.

No idea on the gear pitch i'm afraid - it looks like 48dp but i'm sure you've tried that.... it might be the odd fine pitch that Tamiya use?

The Intruder looks great - just wondered if you were using a low-voltage cut-off unit with those LiPo cells running the vintage brushed gear?

Hi Ken,

If it's got the same size pitch as the Tamiya cars in the 90's (Mantaray, Topforce etc) then it's probably 0.6 mod. I used to get my pinions for my Mantaray from RW racing.

Cheers

Its definitely not 48dp as I,ve tried that and its making a lot of noise

Derbydan: never have run a low voltage cut off with any of my brushed gear
toch wood never had a problem
Thats a 14D MG exterminator in the car with a tekin 411-G2, got a good turn of speed.

Pacman, yes I was thinking maybe 0.6 module as well, was there a 0.5 as well?

When I ran my intruder back in the day I used my normal pinions, same as I used on my RC10 at the time, good car, just don't use it on a cold day, the plastic is brittle I used to smash the plastic between the spokes on the wheels just driving it around EPO.
