Force/BFT pinion help

[nktrnl]

OK, Ive been building my mad force axle truck for a while now. Im almost complete, but I need help on the pinions.

Im running a e-maxx tranny with revo drive shafts. I drilled out the end cup to fit over the mad force pinion but I dont trust it. Ive seen someone running the BFT pinions, but Im curious about the proper bearings to use? (This is so I can order all the rest of the parts one time). So do I use the stock force bearings or do I use the ones for the BFT? (http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...=++&search3=Go) Thats the one that tower list for the BFT pinion...

Why don't you trust it?

I was under the impression they were the same pinion,well,size wise that is. I upgraded to the helical cut ring and pinion. Very nice pieces that are just like the ring and pinions in my Toyota. I believe they are quite a bit stronger than the regular ol' stright cut ring and pinions.

Mainly I dont trust my self (My craftsmen ship). I "think" the BFT pinion is skinnier then the mad force. Plus it already has a hole in it, so I can solidly attach the revo end on it. I really hope Im right, because I just ordered the parts from Towers.

If my bootie fabed pile of parts works,you shouldn't have a worry in the world

I can understand that. I'm not real tickled about a grub screw,I've loctited mine and had no troubles,yet that is. I hope your right also,good luck.

Well when the truck is up and running Ill show more pics (one posted in RCRockGears forum), plus I have to do a write up for the SNOT anyway . Ill let you know how the BFT pinions work out.

you could always drill out the mf pinions.the helical gears from the rtr mf are very nice and cost didly .
