It's hard to say without looking at it. The stock gears that come with the kit are a metric pitch, very close to 64p. The spur should not have movement side to side, since it is part of the ball diff.

Hmm...mine looked like a 32p gear. That's why I was using a 32p pinion....well looks like it's upgrade time....didn't even get to drive it...time for the better stuff already

A light turnout last night but some good racing!!

Only one more week in the current series and both classes will come down to the final race!!

In Mini, Jim Hungate holds a 248-246 lead over Paul Dailey. With three wins & thee 2nd place finishes for both drivers, the difference comes down to the TQ points where Hungate holds a 8-6 advantage.

Just as close in USGT as Curtiss Driver has a 236-233 over Paul Dailey. With back-to-back TQ/wins for Dailey and Driver missing yesterday, a 20 point lead has disappeared!

Even two of the non-payout classes are close for the last race. Jason Hall 251-246 over Andy Crosson in TC and Bob Roegge 247-241 over Ken McKinney VTA! F1 is the only classes decided for Tim Ski.

Should be a great final race next Wednesday to see who comes out on top in every class!!

Got a few more teams for the enduro last night!! Race in two weeks!!

I'm hoping I'll be re-joining the fun soon! Yet another summer that disappears with little racing.

Looking forward to winter, what do you think will be the rules in 12th scale? I'm starting to think about budgeting for a new motor.

I'm assuming the D3.5 is no longer cool?

I would assume we will stick to 13.5 for motors. Anything that is ROAR legal so no D3.5s.
