Pinion question.....
 

How much pinion do you really need with a lathe motor?

I am using the stock clod pinions and they seem to work fine so far.

That's up to you. Stock Clod's are 13 tooth I think, I would have to count my old ones to be sure. I now run 10's and plan on buying a 9 for the rear to get rid of the stall. The 10 front is just right for me. I can crawl good (with a little finger control) and still get the tires to spin when I need it (ledge climbing). At about $10 per pinion, it's not to expensive to try different gearing. I would go low 1st and if too low then go up from there to find your happy medium. 10 front and 9 rear with lathes seems to be really common though.

pinion's needed!!!
 

My lhs sux! I need a 10 tooth front and a 9 tooth rear pinion 32 pitch for my clod crawler, anyone have some?

I bought mine from Towerhobbies, now I just need to find some lathe motors :neutral:

rc4wd It shows that he has them in stock. Call 1st to make sure, but I would think Hue's got em.

thanks I will

rc4wd, great spot for parts.
