Hot bodies 1/8 diffs

[cmac]

Thanks for the info and the complement Overdrive. I have 10 through 16 tooth pinion gears on hand from Mike so I will try them and check temps. Is the 1518 a 4 pole motor? I've heard that 4 pole motor will hold up better. I'm not sure I want to go to a longer motor though, because I've put a lot of effort into this to get everything lined up perfectly and I'm so close to getting this thing done that I don't want to have to re-do a mounting plate. My neighbor Kyle probably wants his drill press back by now I keep telling him I'm almost done and he says it's no problem, but I don't want to take advantage of his generosity.
