Mechanical brake / Castle Neu problem

Yea it is a bit frustrating.

I agree starscreem, 3mm isn't much, but it should be just enough to allow the brake pads to clear the front of the motor. 3mm Alu is just what I have on hand. The problem would be to make up something as accurately as Mike has done for the brake spacer.

The car is a Kyosho ST-RR. It's running the stock 50T spur gear at the moment. I was thinking about getting a bigger spur gear, but no one in Australia carries parts for the ST-RR yet... Should a got an RC8T lol.

Anyway, yea, if I could, I would run a bigger pinion and maybe the 16 or 17t pinion, whichever one fits best.

This is only an issue until the Medusa arrives. I've ordered the 1600kv motor, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to use the 17T pinion with 7s1p A123 and get some decent amp draw and run times.

Thanks Ryu, I didn't know that formula for working out the gear ratio :D
