When I find a setup for the TB03 that I like, I'll eventually run the TB03 in the 17.5 class at my local track.

I barely nicked a barrier during my first practice run with the TB03 and broke a C carrier.... I'm currently waiting for the replacement parts.

How do you guys make quick pinion changes using a BL motor. I have to remove the motor mount. Seems like the shaft of the motor is way long.
What kind of pinions are you using? The Robinson Racing 64p pinions have a lower stack height so just taking out the gear cover works. I have some PRS pinions and they have a higher stack height so switching pinions is a pain but found the Robinson gears to be fine. I currently run up to a 53 pinion from Robinson Racing and that seems to work fine (with a RR 78 spur...I tried the PRS 72 spur but it was hard to look at the gear mesh since the spur was black and the RR ones are white). I'm also using the Novak 17.5 motor doesn't seem be a problem interms of motor shaft length.
