MrMcG Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 So I blew up my ESC and Motor in the X Maxx... Been looking at this Hobbywing EZRUN Combo MAX6 G2 - 5690SD 1250KV G2 or a castle creations combo but then learnt that it wouldnt fit in the standard motor mount so added this Roto-lok Motormount - for Traxxas Xmaxx & XRT but now im told it needs different gearing, and gears and I have no earthly idea what the hell im meant to buy now and replace the gears with or if they are direct swaps etc... Someone show me the light please!! 😄 What gears, spur, pinion etc.. do I need to look at/buy and is it a direct replacement or do I need to buy something else ?? This is where I miss nitro cars.

wolfie1 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Ok the reason you need another pinion is the motor has an 8mm shaft, i am running (with jconcept magma tyres) a 54 tooth spur and a 24 pinion, i would say that if you are running stock wheels and tyres a 25 may work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Another point i will put in for the 54t spur, the pinion you will buy will be hardened steel, a hardened steel spur would be a good idea as opposed to the powered metal stock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Partydaz Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Was looking at pinions etc the other night and came across these Arrma D shaped pinions might be worth a punt in case the dreaded grub screw comes loose on these big beefy motors you lads use in these things. How it fits the shaft is a good idea but the E-clip is useless unless you cut a little grove in the shaft for it to fit but its a good idea and all helps stop the pinion flying off and chewing up the spur. https://www.arrma-rc.com/en/product/25t-mod1-safe-d8-pinion-gear/ARA311045.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
