b19jas Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Its all down to space. If you have room for it then there is no real reason. The only issues you may come accross is wether the running gear will take the extra torque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicko Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Which 10th scale are you looking at squeezing it into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19jas Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Mounting points are usually the same. What size is the can and what you trying to get it into? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyneil Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Won't work as you won't find a pinion for 1/10 that will fit a 1/8 5mm shaft as everclear1984 has said sell it a simple 1/10 combo on hobbyking can be a lot better option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeze Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) There isn't a generic answer, it depends what's the motor and what's the car. Also it may not be the best cheap answer for a car for your daughter, big motor in a small car is going to be punchy Edited April 12, 2015 by Geeze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingPin Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 A lunchbox will be near impossible to keep rubber down, with a 1/8 combo in it. Kingpin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 A 1/8 won't fit an LB. A tamiya gear box will not survive an 1/8 motor attached to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 ask around the forum ................ Hi guys i have a big ask. my daughter would like to use my old sitting tamiya pumpkin, but alas i am not able to install a esc or motor suitable from my spares. Sooooo, i wondered if any of you chaps may have a very old tamiya Mechanical esc and a old stock silvercan motor i am not made of pennys but i could maybe fund a few quid for the delivery of said items. can you help ? Now the above would be a great start for your daughter, three speeds slow-medium and fast, it turns left and right and will run a good 10 mins using a nihm battery pack perfect of new little fingers and simple for dads to fix ( MSC units very rare break its why they are still around today in the digital age ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
