My pinion and spur dont wanna mesh properly because the motor mount/motor keeps moving no matter how hard a bolt it down, so its making a high pitch noise. The funny thing is that when I took the car apart and moved all the gears around when there was no pressure on them, they seemed to be fine...

Pitch is the degree that the teeth on the pinnion gear is cut at, such as 48 deg

I have no idea really. The first meeting I had the car it was fine but it started soon after that. The teeth on the spur look a bit crooked because at one point the poinion was at an angle to the spur because that was the only way to get it to mesh. I think I may end up having to get a new spur.

If you dont have spare spur, as warwick or some of the others if they have a spare you may be able to buy of them. If your motor nount is secure and there is still movement , check the motor screws, that hold to motor to the plate, that they are not starting to strip.

raced at ryde today (goes 4pm to 9pm wtf?) and can see why y'all favour st ives - ryde is fun for bashing but for racing ill stick with st ives, also at ryde everything happens too fast, no time to fix things if they get broken. also only the minority of people were friendly (you know who you are) like the guys at st ives, definitely like st ives better. i will be going to ryde every other week just to bash the rusty though, love those crashes!
(predator xrs arrivies monday/tuesday!!!!! WOOP WOOOOOO!!!!!)
-Jack
p.s. need turnbuckles, cups and ball studa asap! - should be racing tomorrow
