Couple of questions regarding the 511....

[mikezappia]

Hi guys!

Just bought a very nice used 511 roller! I have read most of the threads regarding the car, but still have a couple unanswered questions. 1. What is the biggest pinion gear (# of teeth) you can fit in the car? 2. I didn't receive the 15 tooth pinion supplied in the kit, but I can tell from pictures that it is longer than normal... Does anyone know if tamiya's other pinion are long like that, specifically the 17-19 tooth. 3. Can anyone confirm that the 501 we body and undertray are a direct fit for the 511 chassis? 4. I think I read that Jimmy is running standard pinion gears on bl motors with only a small bit of the pinion touching the spur...anyone have a picture example of this??

Any info would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance,
mike
