I race stock but primarily 540 motors. I usually run a 72T spur.

I dont cover the bottom. Ive never had a need to and i'd think air flow in that areas is a good thing not a bad thing.

Cheers,

Mossie

What is the standard spur gear type? I will need to get some tomorrow morning as my car should be here early next week. What size spur and pinion should I run with a stock motor, a 540, a sport tuned tamiya and a 14x2 does anyone know?

540 - 70T spur 44 rollout
Stock - 72T spur 28 rollout

ohers i dont know.

You can calculate pinion sizes from www.rollout.com

These are just estimates and will change depending on tracks.

Im pretty sure all spurs fit.

Hope this helps.

cheers,

Mossie

Thanks Mossie
I havent got the Pro4 yet, and i dont know if i will get any pinions with it. I only have the .06 module ones for my TA04S tamiya, so i want to go get a few for the Pro4 tomorrow, but I dont know what pitch to get either, what is the pitch of the standard spur?

standard spur is 64P. The Pro4 doesnt come with any pinions. I swapped to 64P cos I was forever stripping spurs. Where I race its a little bit bumpy so 48P is more efficient.

Sorry Pit racer my apologies I gave the wrong address www.gearchart.com

Cheers,

Mossie

I've had very bad experience with the quantums...mine went up in smoke after 2 runs... will never buy one again. I've had my twister since the Pro4 was released...and not a single problem. I also have the handheld setting adapter as well as the PC adapter... you can program different frequencies in 32 steps.
ditto...

mine poofed out of the package, then after being rebuilt, it poofed again after a couple runs - it would poof smoke out proportional to the amount of throttle given.

I paid $30+ to have it fixed the second time, the first time I sent it back with Mike Reedy after the Novak race. It works now, thus far.

The Twister is a KO VFS.

Z891 WASHER 10x12x0.1mm (COPPER/10pcs)

No I hadnt seen those, do they make a differance?

Are they any think or are they just less likely to kink like the standard ones can do?

And the new gears and the aluminum backing plate IIRC.

hi Rich_p : yeah they do make a slight difference as they are slightly thinner than the std ones allowing more fine tuning of the backlash of the diff. and if anything because they are thinner they kink easier than the std ones.
