so, question,,,
i know i need a Mod1 pinion, but I plan on running the Sidewinder 3800kv motor, which has a 3 mm pinion shaft...the truck requires a mod 1 pinion...which are all 5mm.
i've read on here you need a reducer, but cant seem to find one.
anyone have a link to pinions and reducers? or know what i should search for when looking for them?

Well it doesn't really matter, everyone one has there own set ups to the way they like to drive there car. So i dont know why you care about what someone else does on there set up, i was just giving an idea to him as idea to what he might want to run on his car.

That was cool found a lot of parts for my tool box tonight.. spent too much but I should be pretty good for the season now 
Mind you other than replacing the pins, I've yet to break anything with two races days, several practice days under it's belt.
I even snagged a 810 body for 20 on ebay to throw on for those 'muddy' days at the track. A little nub on my front top brace and a couple velcro and I got me a mud cover

Tech Regular
The diff gear set will be a bit. Sorry to say that, but just being honest. This is the reason for the BO status on the trucks. To all those trying to get by running the stock pins, please change them and do not ruin your diff gears. Those shims are available through kyosho seperately, they are just a 3mm shim.
I am checking on the diff case as most everything else will be in stock as of the end of this month as we got a 4th shipment air shipped but those cases arent on any of them. It shows 5/12 right now, but we are trying to get them sooner.

I bought a $15 propane torch and did my own diff pins.

I think most of these people just get off on making an issue way worse than it really is.

Dude buy the chrispins. No reason to leave the truck in the box. There is a cheap and easy fix out there.

I don't think the pins will ever be offered by themselves. They come with the gear bag.
If you have a kit right now and it has bad pins (they all do some are just a little better then others!) call Horizon and they will send you just the pins when they come in. You should never need to buy pins again or get chrispins.

It's going to overheat......don't ruin a good motor and ESC on the wrong rig........unless you can put it in training mode or just slow it down. The recommended is 550 motor.

No issues here with Nitrohouse, but then again, I'm only 3 hours from them. Priority mail shouldn't take more than 3 days. I usually order my stuff on a Sunday and it's in the mail by Monday afternoon. I can see it taking slightly longer to Ohio but a week. Wow!!!

Just run your truck. These people are freaking out way to much about this. I ran 2 10T conversions with the "soft" pins for 4 months before I got new ones. The pins were very worn but the gears still looked new. Its not going to completely fail before horizon has new ones. Why hold off on driving a great truck?
