Update
I got a new ESC :rock: it should be here next week sometime. I have fitted the new flux 45t spur, RRP 14t pinion and slipper pad. I wish HPI make bigger spur gears because it's going to be a PITA to set the mesh. I had to notch the motor plate mount to get enough adjustment on the mount for a good mesh. Now the outside screws are under the TVP, so I'm going to have to set the mesh using the other screws, then remove the motor plate with the motor attached, tighten the last two screws then refit it. Here a few shot of the progress.
The heat of frying the slipper stuffed the locknut, so I replaced it with nice new shiny one. :bling:
DOH!!
Thanks to a round ba$tard. :lmao3:
That a bit better.
There a little worse for wear, or should that be ignorance. :retarded::bigsmilie: I'm going to shorten the motor wires about 50mm for a neater fit, instead of having to fold them under the body mount.
I also got a question, the pinion doesn't quite come to the end of the motor shaft, is that OK. Or should I file a little more flat onto the shaft, so I can move the pinion back making it level? Thanks.
