Another Brushless Revo Project

[BrianG]

As I see it, your ESC mounting options are:
- Over the shocks. Makes it hard to adjust them though.
- Over the tranny. Makes it sit kinda high exposing it to potential damage from on-the-lid landings.
- If you went with electrical brakes (need to lock the tranny in second), you'd have the area where the brake servo is.

Gear mesh should not wear out that quick. Did you have it too tight? Using the paper trick to set the mesh works well.

Pinion options are kinda limited since the motor shaft isn't long enough to reach the spur using regular pinions. The Tekno mount makes the motor sit kinda far back. You could find a way to lock the clutchbell to the flyweel (JB-Weld/screws?), or use Mike's two speed pinion adaptor and only use the first gear pinion position.
