It seems my LHS only has the ones that fit the MMM (5mm shaft).
Thx in advance.

Thx for the fast reply.
What do these adapters look like?
Something like this: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...nion-Adaptor-2
Never seen these before; is it ok to use these?
I saw the OFNA pinions but only up to 16T in mod 1 (3mm shaft).
Thx for the help,
V

Edit: out of the box with a MMPro /1415/2400Kv, what would be an ideal start pinion wise? 16T, 15T, 14T???
Driving on 1/8 rough track, 1 long straight, couple of U turns, doubles, tables etc...

I ordered a proline flo-tek body and the way the roll bars are in the back really isn't very good for fitting the SCTE. Looking for something that is a sure thing fit. Don't want to drop more coin on something that doesn't work well.

I found where someone said the JC Truth body fits. Anything else? Thanks in advance.

The 1415 needs to be geared pretty high from what I understand (because of the low Kv). Check the front page for tips!

Should I go with mod 1 pinion 5mm plus adaptor or just go with 3mm pinions?
There seems to be no 3mm mod 1 pinions above 16T; and the 1415 requires more than that.
As stated on first page:
Castle 2400kv - 17-23T pinion (20 tooth and beyond you need the ERC motor mount)
Any advice on using the adaptor is more than welcome.

I am in the process of ordering as my LHS has none of these... :-(

if you want the truck to be quick and competitive you only have one option, run the adapter and buy 5mm pinions.

So no compatibility pb having an OFNA adaptor with Robinson Racing pinions?
Sorry for all the questions, , I am coming from nitro and all this is a little new for me.
