I recommend a slipper clutch to reduce parts breakage. The flywheel effect of the motor keeps the driveline moving if the tires stop instantly.

currently have a slipper, just might need to loosen it a tad. What diameter shaft does this motor have so I can make sure I get the right pinion gear? Also, is it about the same length as a standard 55t lathe or is it shorter/longer? just kidding, it's on the pre-order page...I'm dumb 1/8" shaft Near 1.5"x1.5" construction Last edited by TxCruzr; 06-05-2007 at 06:20 PM. |

awesome news. Got the last of my rebuild goodies ordered yesterday so everthing should arrive around the same time. I repainted the chassis and skins just so I could take it out with the new power plant and scratch it all up |

Just got mine today. It looks pretty sweet. Nice little touch with the "collector's tin". It has way more power than my revolver. I just can't wait till i get batteries with more than 6 cells
