I have had way to many DNF's because of the stock HPI flywheel & the pins backing out. I run the Kyosho ST-R one on it now .. it is aaaalllmost to small for the chrome top starter box that I am using... so if you could find one of the same design and a little bigger it would be easier on the nerves.
I was thinking that I could get around it if I was to remove the purple "h" motor bracket .... setting the motor right on the chassis in turn moving the motor lowwer making it easier for the flywheel to come in contact with the rubber startrer wheel.... I know on my Jammin CR-T my ThunderTiger Buggy are both like this ( no bracket under the motor mount ) .... any opinion on this last question ?

The stock Hellfire flywheel is 34mm in diameter. I will be looking for another brand flywheel that is the same diameter. Will let you all know what I find.

Here's a OFNA 34mm flywheel. I wonder how this would work?

I have ran this one as well ... it works great ... I would be interested in the 37mm one if you could get a part # ..... What do you think about running without that "h" brace MadHacker /???/ it word set your motor down an extra mm or 2 which I am sure would make the smaller flywheel work better http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/6658 .... I did brake one early on in the season, replaced with a new one & longer screws with washers and nuts added, held together for the rest of the season. maybe a guy could adapt a "Z" brace for the Jammin CR-T http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/5748 just a thought ??

Thanks for the input guys! I grinded down the pinion shafts and now need to reinstall, they look just like the stock pieces now with the mod.
I only removed 3mm from the shaft which began at 23mm (hot bodies) and the HF was 20mm--measured starting from under gear to base of shaft.
