What about the screw that holds the mount in place?

I also thought about using 1.5mm shims to mount the motor flush onto the mounting plate. Has anyone at your track used shims before shaving down the CF?

I think we are talking about the same thing. It's the screw underneath the pod plate that holds the motor mount on. I thought about shims too, but i didn't think there was as much surface area for the motor to bolt to. There may be heatsink properties also with mounting the motor flush. Plus, if you have to widen the rear axle, you may have to push the pinion gear too far out to mesh with the spur.

Hope that helps.

Sydewynder,

I am lipo all the way with my Gen-X 10 and 17.5 motors...Never went 4-cell...
1) Originally Orion 3800s
2) Tried the Orion 2400 for two days; but, it was not competitive against 4-cell after 3-4 minutes.
3) Been using 5000 lipos ever since; as are most at NorCal Hobbies.

Kevin Woods rightfully corrected me...We are both running TQ 13 wire on our Gen-X 10s. Truly sorry about that!

Hey smooth, I switched to a 48P 69t spur and 27t pinion. The motor mounts nice and flush and I still keep my FDR without any shaving anywhere. I am not a big fan of 48p gears, but this will do for now.

It just dawned on me that i'm running my steering servo on 7.4volts! Is this too much? Should I be running some sort of inline voltage limiter?

Thanks for any help.

Its fine Steve, the speedo only sends 6.0 volts to the rec, through the BEC.

I'm running a 100 tooth 64p spur. I can fit anywhere from a 30 to 45 without changing the spur size. To hit your ratio, try a 100/39.

Does the pitch really matter on 1/10 pan cars?

Also, I actually pre-fitted a 100/39 48p combo and the motor was rubbing against the flanged CF part. I think the motor pod could have been better designed than what it is now, with that flanged piece sticking out like that.

I had the same problem with my GenX 10 and Novak SS13.5 with 100t spur. I just took a dremel and ground the little bump inside the pod off, it probably weakend the structure slightly, but I dont think it will hurt anything a 40t pinion fits with plenty of room now, could probably get up to about 42-3t in there.

Oh no you want 64p for that ratio. If you want 48s I can get the numbers.

70/27 or 70/28 for 48 Pitch.
78/30 or 78/31 also.

Harry, rule of thumb has been 48p outdoor, 64p indoor. 64 gives more tuning capability, 48p keeps rocks and trash from stripping your spur.
