Allright I'll do that. But when I striped my spur I wasn't running the motor brace.
How do you guys protect the motor from the chasis?

I'm trying some Robinson Racing pinions right now from Liquid RC. They seem too be good. Much better than the Losi pinions. Alrough you can't go with RCM pinions either, probably the best pinions out there. But too bad the shipping too Europe isn't that cheap

The Losi mod 1's have a smaller set screw, so it tends to slip off the motor shaft. I'm using Robinson's, and they have been great so far with no issues.

This might surprise you but the Novak Mod1 pinions are stellar. Nice big set screw that has never let me down and a slightly longer neck for more adjustment. Highly recommended! I do want to try the RR pinions but seemed like they came in a little late and are now making a "me too" product. I will still give them a shot since they have a great history in 1/10th scale . .

I have one more question for you guys. What's better run the motorbrace or leave it off? People are always arguing about this, but I haven't found what's better yet. I just wanna prevent my motor from comming lose with the big jumps here (2m+)

I have run the brace for 2 years with no problems. Even on huge air jumps. I am a racer I do not bash.

I don't like the looks of them that much and the ugly colors
The I heard good things about the Robinsons and they were the cheapest ones I could find (including shipping). Maybe I'll them in the future when I need some new ones.

The Novaks do not actually come in colors. And how long have you been running brushless 8th scale? I would at least start taking advice from people who run chassis braces . . .
