Yeah thats the ones I was thinking of, I'll have a play about with those. Many thanks.
Is it worth replacing the gears just incase though?

If there is visible wear or stress, I would.

A temporary fix would be a drop of medium or thin CA around the nut, to help hold it in place. You'd be better off with new T-nut part and then CAing the nut in that, though.

Well I just installed my new HPI heatsink motor mount and all I can say is...
Who designed this damn thing? Now I have to put the pinion on and take the pinion off before installing and removing the motor. Arrrrggghhh!!!! Unless of course I run mod and/or binary stock motors with a 27T or less pinion. Something tells me this is gonna be more hassle than it's worth. Especially for me since I swap motors constantly while running Stock and 19T at my local club races.
