Hi guys,
I'm completing a MBX6E conversion and I have just installed the Elite Rc motor mount. Now...using an Hobbywing pinion I have noticed that the allen that fixes the pinion on the engine's shaft should be raised down "flush" on the pinion's shank because there's too little space between the shank itself and the Mblox inner shaft circumference.
Moreover the pinion stay way too "advanced" and not well aligned with the central spur due to the impossibility to push it a little bit towards the engine side...it seem that the Mblox doesn't allow the pinion shank to go backward enough, I need to fix it a little bit back to be perfectly aligned with the central spur...

Any thoughts? Should I change the pinion's brand? Which one eventually??

Are you talking about pushing the motor far back so get the correct amount of gear mesh.

I have a different car but I had the same issues with the Elite mount for it. For the set screw I mounted the pinion with the motor out of the car, tightened the set screw and then ground the threads sticking out until it was nearly flush. For the pinion problem, I found that the HotBodies pinions for the Ve8 have a very short shank. They work great with the Elite mount.

@LabRat99: thanks for suggestions!

@Buggyking: even if you push the motor back, the pinion is "not free" to follow the motor because the "mblox" part of the motor mount blocks the pinion's new position.
Try to see what I'm saying using the folowing photos:

Please use Hotbodies or Robinson racing pinions, they have the shortest bodies and will sit deep into the mblox.. if the set screw is sticking up and hitting the circumference of the pinion hole then simply grind or sand off .5mm off the bottom of the set screw, a very simple fix.. the picture you have for reference is of my older Mblox..

I think it would be better to suggest which pinions you need to use with the MBX6 mount in your e-commerce module...I'll risk to stay without the car completed only because of this issue and because I'll have to wait for the pinions from USA :-(

The photo was useful because displyais the typology of my issue almost in the same way as your actual product.

Thanks.
