Adam I haven't tried. The DCJ's will be in next week.
As well as my regular c hubs BD-7 style
If it gets posted (I know there is video of the main) you have to watch the punishment the car went through. I saw X-rays broken.....no aluminum but still. I went through a sweeper and was trying to make it through a traffic accident. It was pretty brutal.

Yokomo BD7 Spurs and Pinions
I was just wondering what what is the best spur and pinion to use on the BD7when running 17.5 blinky as I have read people were having slight problems when mounting certain brands of spur and pinion.
Many thanks.
Many thanks.

A 96t spur gets you down to a FDR of 3.84 with a 50t pinion. If you want a lower FDR you will need a 92/93 spur. The problem is going to be your pinion size due to the clearance it has with the motor mount aluminium support piece. On the 96t spur I don't have room for anything bigger than a 50t pinion without the pinion grinding metal.

What's the story with pinion gears? There's not enough flat spot on the rotor shaft to tighten them down. If you flip them around, on the motors where that even works, the screw is obstructed by the top deck.
I need to find some smaller spurs that fit. There's not nearly as much room as other cars to fit a big pinion.

This car takes more work.
Syndr0me don't you take your top deck off anyway to change gearing?

I think the d3.5 shaft is long enough to flip the pinion around, and I guess there's always the option of grinding more flat spot, but...
It seems to be a side-effect of how much things have been moved toward the center. The hole in the bottom of the chassis makes it clear they intended for the grub screw in the pinion to be toward the motor, but none of the ones I've looked at have a flat spot that extends far enough to actually use them that way.

What would you say the best spur is to use in the BD7, that lines up and doesn't need any holes made bigger when running 64 pitch.

Panaracer...
I also use arrowmax pinions, but i dont know if they are available outside from germany... They fit right on and you can use the hole on the bottom to tighten the screw!
Update on my BD7! Now with T-Shox!!! And a motor-fan!!!

Nice, What pistons, rebound springs and oil did you use in your T-Shox?

Stock 1,1 x 3 Pistons, the short and soft rebound springs, and 400 mr33 oil all around!
Also the stock yokomo pink springs in the front and the blue ones in the rear! ;-)
