Tekin T8 gearing in 9e?
Hi All,
I was just wondering if tschenck & ice-nine and anyone else running the Tekin T8 motors in the Hyper 9e could comment on the smallest pinion useable without modification?
Also if there are mods needed... what's involved?
This is just in relation to a couple of posts on page 6 (I think) stating the smallest pinion useable was 16T (maybe 15T).
Cheers All!

I went ahead and ordered:
- 3 sets of front lower a-arms
- 1 set rear lower a-arms
- 1 set front Chub
- 1 set rear carrier
- 1 set steering ball end
Cost of this assuming shipping of $6 at nitrohouse: $90.72
Special-RC Ebay site: $71 shipped
if the order works out ok, he will have a repeat customer.

this is my 2nd order with him. First one went fine, just takes a little longer then normal for shipping because its coming from taiwan.
I have a 17t on mine. There is a little bit of room before the fins on the motor will hit the cup on the center diff. I dont have the gear but I would say a 15t is probably as small as you can go with out filing off some of the fins on the motor.

I have a Mamba 2200 in mine and the smallest pinion I can fit is 15 teeth with about 1/2 a MM to spare between the cup and motor case.
The race trailer is hooked to the suburban and the 9E is ready for the maiden voyage tomorrow at RJD in Lincoln IL.

Thanks Tschenck, Ice-nine & slo1 for your prompt & helpful replies!
How are you finding the gearing? Is 15T an acceptable lower limit?
Interested to hear how your maiden voyage goes slo1.
I'm hoping to run the Tekin RX8 and 1700kV Buggy motor on 5S at the moment. Will a minimum pinion size of 15T suit that combo you think?
Cheers and thanks again!

will there be a conversion kit offered that will switch the nitro to the electric?

I made 4 laps in practice before launching off of a huge double and landing on the landscaping blocks that make up the edge of the jumps.
This resulted in the right front A arm being completely torn off and the CVD getting bent. I ordered the parts Thursday that I would have needed to get it repaired.
Oh well that is racing and that hit would have put any car out of commission not just the Hyper 9E.
I had 15 min to strip the running gear out of the 9 and reinstall it in my ST-RR
and switch from buggy to truggy class before the races started. I made it and eventually won the intermediate truggy class with the electric truggy that I brought with me in hopes of selling to fund the 9
