just about BL... 1. do you need to break them in or adjust them at all or is it something where you just go.. 2.well just any pointers would be nice

Pretty much just run it. No maintenence (occasionally good to add a drop of oil to the bearings) to worry about.

thats it.. wow.. how fast roughly does the fegaio i think it is that you suggested go?

RC-Monster Mike · 02.20.2005, 10:02 PM

This will depend on a few things, such as batteries, gearing, tires, terrain, etc. It can run 30mph all day or be geared into the 50mph range pretty easily as well.

RC-Monster Mike · 02.20.2005, 10:05 PM

what would i pick for the shaft size when i order?

RC-Monster Mike · 02.21.2005, 10:35 PM

1/8" is easier to work with, but you need to be careful and install the pinion as close to the motor as you can (don't mount the pinion out on the very end of the shaft). These will allow any maxx sized pinion to fit. The 5mm shaft is much stronger, but pinions are not as cheap or as easy to come by.

so the difference is convenient and not as convenient but stronger?

RC-Monster Mike · 02.21.2005, 10:39 PM

My pleasure, Toby. That is why I put the forum here. In the course of helping you, many others may have learned something they didn't think to ask.
