We will be doing more sizes but these seemed to be the hard to find pinions.

The pinions are going to be in the $5.00 range.

All pinions are nickel Teflon coated for maximum wear resistance and smooth mesh

Sweet mercy!

Looks like you mounted a quarter on the motor shaft.

My 10 year old Sony Mavica camera ROCKS!! Shoots onto 3.5" floppies, I've LOVED it since it was new. Even an E-tard like me can make it work. And you don't want to know how many pics that thing has taken.

So, I got the chance to run the RR a bit this week. I would still like to get a bit more on-power steering. Are most of you running with the links mounted to the front (long) position or the back (short)?

Hello mrrcguy,

You can try these options with the Long Flex plates use the tweek screws only put them in till they just touch the chassis. Or you can move the Aluminum mounts back to the standard position to get more steering.

Hope this helps

Yeah I think thats my next move. The car is pretty light at 867g (Lipo) so I was thinking about adding a few grams to the front of the chassis. Is this a bad idea. Obviously Im a 1/12th newb.

The pics show a 78 spur with a 60 pinion. We did it to show what you could fit on a DB12RR. Chances are you would never need to run that combo.

The most important thing is that the DB12RR now allows racers to run larger more efficient spur gears and still fit the required larger pinions.
