My first Q is what motor pinion should I use, I've got a 13X3T motor?

Second does anyone know if I can still use my Futaba s3003 steering servo, if not what should I get?

My third Q is do they make a battery clip for the TRF 415 cos I don't want to waste my money on tape that'll run out!

Lastly do all 190mm shells fit the TRF 415?

an answer to any of these would be greatly appreciated.
1 - Too many variables on this. Best thing to do is approach fast drivers at your track and ask what Final Drive Ratio they are using, then calculate from this what size pinion you will need.

2 - Yes this is fine

3 - You can make one for the TRF415, cant remember which manufacture parts you need, If its the MSX there is a Tamiya conversion kit but its expensive! They dont use a hold down bar as it can tweak the chassis causing the handling to be inconsistent. The tape lasts for ages so for the price of it id stick to that! Just my $0.2

4 - Most of the touring car shells fit - Alfa, Mazda, Stratus, Skoda, Nissan, Nemesis etc

Hope this helps!
