Personally, I've taken an allen key and cut it down so that it will reach just long enough to tighten my 17t 32p pinion right down. it's a little awkward the first few times, but imho, unless you run on different tracks that require different gearing, you won't change pinions often, and I didn't want to drill a hole in my gear covers...

I've seen people drill a small hole in the inner gear cover, either from the top front (around the 2 o'clock position) or directly from the bottom (6 o'clock) and then covering the hole from the inside with some tape or something.

While you all sit there and make mods, play with set-up, yadda, yadda, yadda, none of you have come to grips that the car is a basher only. I am an AE fanboy and know it is a POS when it comes to racing
I will not sell it as my 8yo loves it for playing in the yard but YOU will not be able to truly compete on a track with any mods. We are not the Ryan's and never will be. The Losi sucks too as you have to spend more money to upgrade the soft metal but it is so heavy and planted, we cannot compete unless you have a long main where you know the batts will dump on th Losi.
I suspect AE knows this as well. I am sure I will get flamed but it is the truth.
BTW, I post this knowing I have not had one issue that everyone else has had either. No slipping belt, no bent cvds, no warped a-arms. I do have the clutch basket though.
I will not buy a Losi though and would rather dump the class but will probably build an sc10 out of excess rc8 parts.
