Couple questions
1st the easy one...what size hex do i need for the rear wheels?
now for the hard one
I am running a Novak Ballistic Motor and and keep stripping spur gears. I have made sure the motor is tightened down ( I am not happy with the novak case as it doesn't seem to let you crank the motor down) and making sure my gear mesh is good
I even had another experienced driver tighten the motor and set the gears mesh with a new pinion and same issue. Its usually from me hitting something but I feel something else is not right. I am getting lunsford motor mount screws with the big cap to see if that will help.
Anyone experience this issue?

I am using the Lunsford motor mount screws with good results. I ground away about 1/4 of the lower sunken aluminum washer (for clearance with bottom deck of pod) and roughed up the backs of both washers to maximize grip to the aluminum motor mount.
Having a soft bumper on the front of the car will greatly lessen impacts that can move the motor. Even Dumper of CRC has a front foam bumper.

Try running 48P with these cars. Its a much stronger tooth then the 64P. (making an assumption that you are running 64P).

Sorry if this is a dumb question but how long do the WGT spec tires last? Are they slow wearing?

At The Big Chill Race in Chilliwack the guys around my pit table were cutting the tires down to stop the traction rolling on the carpet. They were using 1cell lipos and 13.5bl motors. Due to the weight of the car there was almost no wear for the weekend ( I did not race WGT )

Hex wrench is 3/32" for the rear wheel screws.
I am using the Lunsford motor mount screws with good results. I ground away about 1/4 of the lower sunken aluminum washer (for clearance with bottom deck of pod) and roughed up the backs of both washers to maximize grip to the aluminum motor mount.

New CRC Gen-X 10 LE
Finally got my Gen-X 10 updated with the new LE chassis. Wiring by OD Purple; so, you know it looks great. Will post pictures after its first shakedown run tomorrow on NorCal's new carpet track.

The GenX10 Front Pieces fit if you want to run a wider front end.

I picked up up one of the new LE Kitīs from the first batch that arrived at the european distributor. Well it was a straight forward built without any problems. I really like the new silver screws 
What suprises me, is that a 2S Lipo is not a direct fit in the LE.
You can see the problem here:

The red stand offs seems so be much to short..ok they are made for use with 1S lipos.

Correct. The standoffs rested on a riser of carbon fiber and a thin nut too. Both aded about 1/8" to their height.
