Yep. I run the delrin ARC gears with the exotek eliminator now. Pretty sweet setup. For gearing help just, take the 48p spur or pinion and multiply by 1.3333 to get the equivalent 64p.

Finer gear ratio increments. Not as strong of teeth as a 48p, but a lot tighter gear ratio.

Almost wish someone would bring the old Kinwald 56p gears back. Loved those things back in the day. Almost as strong as a 48p, but the close gear ratios of 64p.

And also can get the motor closer/farther to axle as required for a bit of weight bias. Also helps the spurs are made in increments of around 2 for the touring car guys.

You know, now that BK is running for JConcepts that may be possible. JC seems to be on top of it when it comes to "why doesn't someone make that?"

You should hit up the JC thread and ask about it.

Funny you should mention that,

While down at the cactus this year I asked about a 69 spur for the Kyosho, seeing as of that time no one made one for the Kyosho directly. Jason said they were going to expand the Kyosho line from JC, didn't say what or when.

I'll have to try and hit them up again about the 56p spurs/pinions and a few other things I can think of, that if brought back out, I'd bet they sell pretty well.

We run this 64P 88T spur from Schelle Racing with somewhere between a 31 to 34 tooth pinion based on track when we run Stock on a Medium High to High Traction track. It is awesome...

Here is the link to the Spur: http://www.schelleracing.com/index.p...product_id=217

On this car, I have the 84, 86 and 88 TC spurs machined delrin ones from ARC/Precision. I run around 5.5 FDR on the car, so pinions vary from 41T to around 45T. 101 would be too large frankly. Also I try to get a thinner pinion to lessen chances of stripping, the precision pinions are thinner (just a tick wider than the spur actually) than the robinsons (which are the width of the schelle nova 64p spur).

Yes, if you use the Schelle Racing gear you would use the Schelle Nova Slipper System. They currently have an 88t available and a 96t will be out very soon.

You will need a top shaft Schelle Racing should have one out very soon, in the mean time you can get one from AVID: http://www.avidrc.com/product/5/acce...cessories.html

Slipper: http://www.schelleracing.com/schelle-nova-SCH1301

Gear: http://www.schelleracing.com/index.p...product_id=217

and for those wanting a smaller 48p gear Kyosho now makes a 69t

I use the bfast rc 3/32 balls best in the business. I am trying out new acer ceramics in my next rebuild, but bfast is my goto for rebuilds. 11$ shipped.

I use the equivalent balls from Associated. If they are out then I use Associated. My lhs doesn't stock Kyosho parts so I make due with what I have access to if I don't plan ahead.

Why not ceramic?
