Can someone who is building a new serpent e buggy please measure the 8x19x6 pinion bearing with a caliper and tell me what they get for a measurement on the width. I am measuring the avid bearings at 5.93-5.95 depending on if I use the tip or the middle of the caliper.
I am swapping the v3 pinion setup into the nitro buggy and with 3 shims behind the pinion in the front it's so tight it barely turns. I took a shim out and it's better more like what I remember when I built the e bug. Thanks.

Don't forget that the V3 e-buggy pinion is 13T and the nitro car is a 10T pinion. Not sure if the tranny cases are different to allow for this or not. If not, you'll probably have to shim the diff to move the gear side farther away from the the pinion. And you'll have to go to a smaller clutch bell.

I posted 1 right after I built it. It's several pages back. Here it is again. This was the 1st time on the track and my setup has changed since this video.

Lip, I think you will find that the front and rear axles are slightly different with the rear ones have the extra lip on it to mount the boot to. The front ones don't appear to have this.
But do you really need them? From my experience it's the rear that gets all the dirt etc and with the steering action the boots probably wouldn't last very long. I know on my DEX410 they last five minutes at most and now I just don't bother with them.
Perhaps you could fit somehting onto the drive shaft that would shield the CVJ from dirt without actually touching the wheel axle? A cut down boot for example.

Would be interesting to see an updated video with your current set up.
