Default can i use my stock spur gear on my rc8t ce and run a 14th pinion when i convert ?

im going.. to convert my rc8t and it has a 54t spur run as a nitro with a 14th clutchbell and im wondering if i can run the "54t spur" with a 14th pinion or do i have to use a diffrent pinion for electric ?

its a metal spur gear.

That's what I did on my RC8 for a long time, works fine. I finally switched to a plastic spur to quiet it down. They are really inexpensive. The plastic spurs are pretty durable depending on where you run. Just make sure you get a hardened mod 1 pinion if you run the stock spur. Hope this helps!

metal gears are all well and good just make sure your mesh is good and pinion screw is tight. if it comes loose......
