Default RC18 540 1/10 Scale 540 Motor
Working On a 540 Motor Mount for the RC18
The problem I'm having is the Pinion gear is really far from the spur gear.. So I need a big Pinion gear...
here are some pics

If you run 3S, then that motor may be able to balance some of that uneven weight out. I just don't know how the drivetrain is gonna like it. Any rough terrain may be too much for it

Well being it's gonna be on a RC18R Im looking smooth surfaces or maybe on a track. Will definetly do a video.

The problem I'm having right now is the biggest pinnion gear I could find with the right 48 pitch was a 36 tooth. It's on order....
I will need to redo or rethink the mount

If it were me, I'd just put a belt between the pinion and spur. Look for a short belt like on any 1/10 scale touring car.
