Call AE and ask.

I know the 4 gears that are bought from AE are the V2 only.

I dont actually care to call them, lol. He could simply open his gear box and check the topshaft. Since we have no idea how old his team kit is.

I ordered the low-rider wing mounts from shapeways on October 8th. They still haven't shipped. I understand they need to be printed but does it normally take this long?

I Have 4 b5m's 2 with 3 gear, 2 t5m's with 3 gear and an Sc5m with 3 gear. None of them needed shims.

It does show some shims. I have no side to side play in any of mine.

Spot on. Thank you. There is no mention of them when they list the needed parts to convert to the 3-gear tranny.

Inner diameter 10mm outer 14mm anyone know how thick these shims are?

Default Reedy Sonic 540 question.
Hi

I just got a slightly used B5m and with it came a Reedy Sonic motor. The seller told me that it had a different rotor in it that was for 1s batteries. In a container he had the one for 2s.
I began to change them and found that the supposed 2s rotor does not fit either the bearings at each end of the motor.

I went on to Associated's site and there are many different rotors but no information on them.

The rotor that fits has written on it: Reedy Sonic s12.3 x 25.0. On the flat part of the shaft is the Associated id number for the rotor on the site which is 955.

Can anyone explain what is going on here?
Thanks, in advance.
John

There is a reedy thread around here somewhere but....I think the std rotor that comes with the spec motors is a 956. Does the other rotor have any markings?

Try asking here: http://www.rctech.net/forum/team-com...943-reedy.html

Thanks for your suggestion Matt.
I took a look at the Reedy thread and it has only recently become active again. I will try calling Associated in the morning and report back here in case this is important for anyone else.

There are no marks at all on the supposed 2s rotor. It is all black.

All black rotor is commonly the X12 old rotors they ran in the X12 motors. Egh rotors, I wouldn't run them.
