Seth I wouldn't bother with those tires. First off I had to drill them out to fit on the Rustler axles which I think are 3/16. Then they had to be spaced out because the inside of the rim was rubbing on the camber links. They did have pretty good traction but a perfectly smooth surface would be better because they aren't pneumatic tires and therefore don't absorb all the little imperfections in the road. In other words the truck bounced around a little. On top of that they don't last very long for 30 bucks a pair.

I am now willing to admit that I'll probably NEVER be finished upgrading this thing!

^^^ Feigao 9XL taken from the Tamiya fan. BK 12020, also from the Tamiya.

^^^ Mod 1 gears; 36T, 38T, and 40T spurs; 14T, 16T, and 18T pinions.

More to come. Unfortunately.

I have a 40T Revo M1 spur already. Will a 20T M1 pinion mesh properly with the larger motor? I don't have the pinion so I cant even make a guess. The 600XL is 2mm less in diameter than a Neu 15xx. Yeah I'm gonna have a 2:1 ratio on the pinion/spur. That's the only way to get hellish speeds with 35K RPM and 3" tires.

Well the 40t spur is 41mm in diameter, and the 20t pinion is 21mm. So you could take half of each and add that together abd get 31mm. That would be the distance between the center of the slipper shaft and the center of the align motor shaft when installed with a 40t sopur and 20t pinion. Take a ruler and see if there is 21.5mm (radius of the align motor) between the case and the motor shaft end of the 31mm measurement. Hope that makes some sense. I have a feeling that it will fit, but it may be close, and require some motor fin trimming!
