A

Wire width 1.3mm it is the thinest one from the xxx cr roll bar kit.

As for mounting the idle gear it really depends on what spur you want to run. I have extended the bottom motor mount slot in the motor plate so i could move the idler gear. The slot runs at a 45 degree angle up towards the slipper. You have to countersink the slot and use the losi flat head screws screw otherwise you will not be able to mount the motor. I then drilled a new lower motor mount hole as the motor does need to sit a little further back

I have mounted the Idler gear on the XXX4 topshaft set A3238 just using the Top hat spacer that runs through the xxx4 spur gear. The good thing about using that part is it is threaded at both ends so you mount it on the motor plate at one end then hold the idler on with a screw at the other end so if needed you can quickly change the idler gear without needing to remove the motor

Hope that helps
