Just finished building my Photon and everything went great. Everything fit together nicely until i got to putting in the motor.

I am using the lipo chassis and a tekin redline motor. The motor wont fit correcly between the motor guard. With the motor guard, it tweaks the motor on a weird angle. I took the motor guard off and all is fine. Anyone else have this issue?

I attached the motor guard to the bottom of the chassis and all is good. Just worried that is will scrape.


THANKS

Take the guard off the bottom - that wont work. Dremel the piece until it fits or get another motor. Trinity Duo, speed passion or novak motors fit.

I've had a tekin motor in my car before. You have to get a different spur gear so it puts the motor towards the center of the hole.

For those who helped with my leaky shocks..thanx!!!

I still have the first gen photon, and really like it and I do not want to upgrade to another brand sake of changing... so question is, If i get the lipo chassis does the width of the chassis change? it appears to be the same, but I would like to have a narrower chassis if possible ( I did try "search" button LOL)

Thanx again guys

My understanding is that there is a narrow version of the chassis in the works. And you are correct the new lipo chassis is not any narrower than the six cell version. The real difference is there are some extra hole in the chassis so that you can move the lipo further to the right side, and it also gives you the ability to flip the diffs and run the front belt to the right side. The standard chassis does not offer this ability as there holes under the diffs in the front and rear are smaller.

Hope this answers your question.

Does anyone one know the size or pn for the layshaft spacer? I recently got a new to me 2nd photon. The gear set has a lot of slop and noticed its the wrong spacer. I dont have calipers to check the other one on my other car. I was going to make a parts order and just wondering on a part number or a susbsitute.

Thanks

The outer diameter of the layshaft is 5mm. I use our TOP steel shims.

I still have trouble removing the bearings from the spur gear. I decided just to buy a new 20t pulley and bearings and shaft. The shaft that top sells is black and not the red version. What to do?

The black shaft is steel and supercedes the red alumium one. The steel shaft does not mushroom on the ends like the aluminum one and your bearings won't get stuck. You will have to space the spur gear assembly differently due to the tab on the steel shaft, use the shims EJ mentioned in the above post

Buy the black one as it is steel instead of alloy.
You won't have trouble removing your bearings with the black shaft.
