I don' t think they are different, but stick to tamiya pinions to be on the safe side of tcs....

no, not true - any pinion can be used, the spur and idler gear HAS to be Tamiya

Any suggestion's for a ball diff. for a Mo-5 V2? Tamiya has two I believe, which would work better on Asphalt? I have been looking thru a lot of posts and haven't really gotten a answer. Thanks for any info.

You'll get a bunch of opinions, but this setup made me a believer

Sure, probably down to a 20 amp... But why would you be putting a 380 size motor in a mini? They come with a 540. ..... now i'm thinking about how a 380 based mini class would go...

The "Hobbywing style" ribbed motors are 380s in a 540 sized can. Works friggin awesome!

M07

Just ordered the M07 from RC Mart, who were showing stock instead of the backorder shown before but I might have that dead wrong.

I see no separate thread but no reason not to continue in this one.

Went against totally against the principle of waiting for the bugs to be ironed out but guess I got caught up in all the FB hype ;-)

Cheers
Dave

380 brushless motors tend to have less torque but more RPM than 540 brushless, which is exactly what a mini needs.
