[QUOTE=ozzieramirez;15642044]I have a 17.5 motor and the gears are used. I bought the car a few months ago. The pinion I have now was from a 1/10 associated buggy. The car rolls fine without the gear and pinion touching. Maybe I'm not using the right pinion.
Almost all buggy gears are 48 pitch, not the common 64 pitch in touring cars. No amount of messing with gear mesh will work it that pitch is wrong.
