im running the stock spur.. with the castle creations 6600kv 4pole motor. what pinion should i use? i installed a 34t but its extremely tight ..so tight that the car doesnt move freely

There should be a slight gap between the pinion and spur use a piece of paper to help set the gear mesh , too tight will overheat the motor and could possibly make it slow as you mentioned but the nimh batt could contribute to that as well, too loose and you'll strip spurs

No, I'm using Robinson Racing machined spur gears.
I also had to dremel off 2 of the 4 "lugs" on the alloy spur gear holder so I can use almost any brand of spur gear that doesn't have the extra holes.
This means I only have to use 2 screws to hold the spur gear assembly together.
Cheers

I chose to dremel them off as I don't have a drill press, and don't trust myself hand drilling the spur gears.
With 2 lugs & 2 screws instead of 4 holding the spur gear I've run a 13.5 blinky in the car and it all hung together.
