Aren't the 4mm screws for motors with 4mm mounting holes.

Sorry I'm asking a lot of questions about this tonight guys....
I have the screws in (except one, apparently a button head isn't going to work on that one so I left it empty) - and the pinion I'm putting on is a MOD 1 - 5mm Pinion short shank. It should work, except it is only 1/2 on the spur gear.
Is this normal with this mount?

What pinion? I use Hot Bodies pinions, and I can get full engagement between the pinion and spur.

The others were shipped 2/7/11 and 2/8/11 and arrived on 2/15/11. 
At least I got them, I guess.

Ha, I am slow at building cars (unless you were talking to gregg); but in either case, I'm slow because I have so much other crap going on all the time and money. OMG< these things can get expensive... build it piece by piece and save the lunch money 
I got everything on. There is one hole I couldn't get a 4x10mm screw in because the button head was overlapping the outer plate of the mount; so I said to hell with it. I agree with gregg, the 3x10mm would have been just fine, but Grid should have at least made the other 2 holes you CAN put a 4x10mm the right width.
Concerning the gear mesh, i turned the pinion around so the shank was pointing out. Now for you RC pro's I'm sure that was a no brainer, but I thought it wasn't good to run it that way. I always put the shank up against the motor on all my 1/10 scale cars.
I'm pretty sure I got it.
So, did you guys bother screwing down your ESC or ya just double tape it?

I watched the youtube RC8 build videos. In part 1 the guy says to drill out the hinge pin holes in the front arms to let them move freely. He says use a #18 size bit. I only have normal fractional bits. #18 = 0.1695, the closest I have is 11/64 which is 0.1719. Will 0.024" extra be too large? I can't find numbered bits locally individually, and I don't want a full set for $60. My hinge pins are quite snug in the holes so I would like to do this. Any opinions?

Man, I'd love to pay UNDER 100.00 bucks for one of those bags.
