That radio will work fine.
Hope this helps.
OK thanks. When you say "at least" a 15t pinion, do you mean that smaller or bigger would be better? I dont have my 9e yet so I'm not familiar with what the exact clearance problem is. If I have to grind down the heatsink on the motor then what would be the ideal pinion and spur gear combo?
Is there another way to solve the clearance problem? Seems strange that this problem exists out of the box. Does the Elite RC mount make a difference? What about changing the spur gear size to alter the gearing?
