Pinions and spurs are very tight fitting in the T4, I got a very full set of YeahRacing pinions, which seem to be working ok, in part cause they are not very thick, and have a beveled edge off the teeth side, helps just that little bit when reverse mounting and wanting to clear those motor screws.
I found the downside of the smallish button head screws the other night though, someone spun in front of me at speed, and I hit them front bumper to front bumper, hard enough that the motor shifted forward and I lost drive...
To be fair, it was a hard hit, hard enough my servo mount shifted/twisted forward, and my Sanwa receiver case also cracked open from the impact!
