The one thing about this kit that really bugged me was the lack of pinion gear. Every other kit I've bought has come with a pinion included. Not this one. And not only that but they decided to use the M06 style of pinion. Not an easy find in my neck of the woods. Has anyone tried to swap the spur out for a 32P or 48P ?

It's because of where MST is from in regards to M06. Tamiya is really popular in those parts, so I'm guessing they followed suit in regards to Tamiya AV pinions.

You can pick up Tamiya AV pinions from TQ RC Racing - https://www.tqrcracing.com/shop/prod...no=1&o_pg_no=1

Need the metal driveshaft. I piped the rear one on my maiden run. I was running a Holmes Hobbies 3500 normal motor (not XL) with the new Castle ESC on 3S. My wheels were the rc4wd wide wagon wheels with Voodoo KLRs and a 23 tooth pinion. Speed is lower than my scx10ii with a similar set up.

Rear driveshaft popped at the joint. It was already showing wear in the plastic. I popped it in the dirt from a hard takeoff frankly to see how much of a roost I could throw.

I love this little bugger though. I can tell it's going to be better than the scx10ii in a lot of ways.

Have you found any issue with the strength of the portal gears and/or the shafts in them? That's my biggest concern for this rig..
I blew the portal gears front driver side, wasn't in a bind and the rig weighs about 5lbs.

Biggest problem I had with the shocks wasn't that they were plastic, it was their limited travel. I put some rc4wd 110mm shocks on and mounted them on the lower link bolt rather than on top the axle. This made a significant improvement in the amount of flex I was able to get without raising the ride height much.
