I got a question on what you guys are seeing when you mate up your pinion to your spur.
For the USGT class I went ahead and used a setup that called for a 96T spur and a 49T pinion. as I was working in general on rebuilding the vehicle I had the top deck off, and I noticed that the spur that was on the vehicle (Robinson Racing) didn't have the holes in it to reach through and reach the motor screw that woudl be closest to the spur gear side.
No sweat, changed over to an xray spur gear but then noticed the hole was not big enough to fit the screw threw?
this made me wonder, if I can't get the screw threw the hole to get to the motor, how are people doing this when they take th emotor completely out the car? Also the angle even with a ball driver was very extreme to reach. I ended up going to a 2.5mm cap screw to get a better angle and better chance of not stripping the screw.
Anyway any tips on this? i didn't notice this last year with the VTA versions, but I was using different spur gear size so maybe that is why.
