Pinions

[rchippie]

Hi mike!!!

Are your pinions thick were the set screw goes. I was using 32p 5mm bore pinions that i got at FDM, this weekend and striped two of them. Thank's

[supermaxx4190]

they are very thick, and use a huge setscrew. they work awesome, im using them with my 10L.

I had the pinions made because I couldn't find any that I was happy with. The pinions have a wide tooth area, as well as a thick wall and a beefy 4mm set screw. You won't have any trouble with these pinions. That I can promise!

Thank's mike i'll be ordering some friday when i get paid. Also what size range do you recomend for a 9L on 14 cells with ue diffs ?.

[RC-Monster Mike]

16,18 or 20 would all work well on that setup. The 18 would be my choice, although the 20 will push you beyond 40 mph, which may be what you are looking for. I usually gear for mid 30s when I race.

What spur would you use with that 18 pinion?. Right know i use a 66 spur.

[RC-Monster Mike]

I would use a 66 spur as well.

How's the UE diff reduction compared to a stock Maxx diff?

If you run a 18 or 20t to get you close to 40mph or above, you also take off in second gear, right? I assume so, 'cause you told us you lock out first anyway.

The UE diffs are 43/13

the stock diff are 37/13

Mike i noticed your 32p 5mm bore pinions go up in size by two. 16-18-20 do you have any plans to make 17- 19 tooth pinions ?. If so when ?.

[RC-Monster Mike]

No immediate plans, but possibly in the future. I have several other things that are taking priority now (like steel idlers, for instance).

now THAT's great news..

Can someone tell me the size and thread pattern for the 5mm mod1 pitch pinion setscew please.
I seem to have lost it out of the gear :o
also is the hex size? 1mm

Thanks

it's an M3 setscrew..

It uses a 1.5mm hex.

Its smaller than that mate. the 1.5mm is way to big to fit:)
