I know what you mean, with a 81 tooth spur and a small pinion my motor contacts the case as well.

Try a 87 tooth spur gear with a bigger pinion. Basically you are getting the punch you want by using a bigger spur rather than a smaller pinion.

Hope that helps.

these orings are for the associated shocks http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX2605&P=7 also, these are the orings for the shock shaft http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LX2594&P=M Then of course you need more oil http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0...

A&L steering and Ti turnbuckles, NICE

Just get new ones. The sping and washer help keep the dogbone in place.

One of the things I like about RC10's is there's an unlimited number of configurations. So many parts are available you can truly make it your own. I do like to keep "period correct" parts on mine. Meaning, if you have a 1989 esc and motor, try to match with other components (body, radio t...

So FEWER teeth on a pinion (and I'm guessing the spur as well) means the gearing is LOWER? ie. easier to move the vehicle? Almost...fewer teeth on a pinion is a lower gear ratio, slower top speed with more low-end toqure. Conversely, fewer teeth on a spur gear is a higher gear ratio, faster top-spe...

You can use these bearings. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-8-x-5-8-Bearings-MS-RC10-6-Gear-Tranny-Outdrive-6903-/370503055895?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5643b3fa17 I also just saw these too: http://cgi.ebay.com/Associated-RC10-Gold-Felt-Seals-Retaineers-6633-/360366017387?pt=Radio_Contro...

I'd buy that for a dollar

I like to run laps down the sidewalk and back up the street. Takes about 7 seconds per lap (maybe less IDK). I like to get into the rythem or zone of running laps even though they are very short laps. The sidewalk is skinny and the "corners" are different, one is a intersection and the oth...

Thanks for the offer. :D I actually got the single cell heat shrink from Tower yesterday. I have wrapped the cells and will post pics tonight. They look so good with the fresh heat shrink. Pics now attached, I'm not sure where I want to use these. I'll leave them seperated for now. They arn't perfec...

new pics I removed the battery braid to seperate the cells. Then, used goof off to remove the solder flux and some CLR on a toothbrush to remove the leakage on the top of the batteries. Both products worked well. neither of those products damaged the plastic. I hope the clr didn't ruin the battery, ...

this is what im starting with, the clear heat shrink has been removed

I found this on ebay. I think this will work for wrapping individual sub c 1700 mah Sanyos: http://cgi.ebay.com/5-FEET-31mm-1-25-WIDE-CLEAR-LAYFLAT-HEAT-SHRINK-/260486068327?pt=Radio_Control_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3ca62df867 This is 1.25 inch or 31mm heat shrink tube. I also found the single...

I've read a couple threads regarding vintage battery restoration. I'm restoring a set of black 1700 SANYO’s as well. I have removed the original clear heat shrink that was on each cell. Now I need to put new heat shrink on. It looks like I need 1 inch clear heat shrink. Where can I source this size ...
