TA-Mark 195 Posted March 1, 2011 How did you fit a 18 tooth pinion in there? There's only holes for a 17 tooth or a 19 tooth when using a 540 sized motor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaggy 0 Posted March 1, 2011 How did you fit a 18 tooth pinion in there? There's only holes for a 17 tooth or a 19 tooth. i just put the motor in without the plastinc 380 motor off set plastic and sheer luck the only spare pinion i had was a 18 tooth..

mike_o 35 Posted March 1, 2011 18t pinion, hmmm... I'd look for a 17t or 19t. It doesn't take much play to accelerate the wear. In the picture it doesn't look too bad, but there is a bigger gap than in my 17t and 19t set ups. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beetlebanger1 6 Posted March 2, 2011 doies the new HB come with a diff in the gbox.... or is it direct drive ?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TA-Mark 195 Posted March 2, 2011 doies the new HB come with a diff in the gbox.... or is it direct drive ?? It has a bevel gear diff. The HB2010 is a DT02. Cheap version of the Sand Viper/Desert Gator, but with 380 motor, plastic driveshafts, and pogo-stick suspension. There is even a hopup ball diff available (standard in the DT02MS).

southy 6 Posted March 3, 2011 i just put the motor in without the plastinc 380 motor off set plastic and sheer luck the only spare pinion i had was a 18 tooth.. Can I ask why the spur gear still has a plastic bush in it. Toss it and get some bearings. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaggy 0 Posted March 3, 2011 Can I ask why the spur gear still has a plastic bush in it.

shaggy 0 Posted March 5, 2011 fred dibnah would be ashamed of this one... esc is in but because of the size of the esc it wont fit in the tub and i dont know if it will stay in as with the motor. so i didnt want to cut the chassis just in case.. it was a mare to try and fit it anywhere and to keep the drive/interior Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopperboy 0 Posted May 10, 2011 Yep, this is the way I want to go with mine too (got a spare LRP set up that I used to have in my X6 when I was racing) but will any steel pinion 17 & 19 tooth pinion fit? Don't really want to use a stock Tamiya alloy one if I can help it, they seem to wilt quickly when used with anything other than a stock silvercan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TA-Mark 195 Posted May 10, 2011 but will any steel pinion 17 & 19 tooth pinion fit? The kit pinion is 0.8 module size teeth. 32dp steel 17 tooth or 19 tooth pinions will work fine. Just be sure to get the ones with a 3.2mm bore and not the 5mm bore ones (unless your motor shaft is the larger 5mm). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
