how do I mesh my ftx outlaw (brushless) spur and pinion gear?

[carmadman1]

I was not sure how to mesh my gears on my rc car. So I turned to youtube but the motor mount was different because they were not using the ftx outlaw.

If you can help me that would be great.

Thanks.

If it’s adjustable then just jam a folded piece of paper in there, push it reasonably snug and tighten the bots. If it’s not adjustable then you are limited to specific pinion/spur combos, probably listed in the manual 👍🏻

Its not adjustable, just screw it in, also means you sadly cant use any other size pinion or spur. Replace the weak brass pinion asap.

Yeah as above you can get a steel pinion and spur gear, highly recommend you buy those straight away, the stock ones are awful.

 

I think you can actually adjust them, but in fixed positions, if you screw the motor mount on the other way around, you can fit a larger pinion. But yes, for all intensive purposes you cant fine tune adjust them as such.

You can also drill the mount but it wont mesh right, hes right tho you can fit a larger pinion with a seperate 21t mount or flip the 17t tooth mount around but DON'T the truck will cog and will not perform well at all, would likely cook the motor too.

Hi, frustraitingly I cannot find the exact one I got, but its very much like this:

I am guessing that is the same as I got, but I didnt get it from that website. Steel pinion and spur will last much much longer, the brass stock one is like some monkey metal it was shreds itself in no time.

That being said the RW acetel one holds up fine aslong as the transmission box doesnt flex and throw the pin. super glue the pin in worked.
