Quick question on Motor mount for Mugen - MBX5-T

[lambchops]

Hi, I think you will stuggle to find the esc mount in the UK, im based in the UK too and couldnt find one, I ordered from A main so prob had the last one sorry.. I also had Mikes last Mugen motor mount too hehe

Im running 4 cell 25C 4350 Flightpower batterys and have the standard 46t centre diff. I think though the truggy is gear slightly diffrent so you may want to check that but I run a 16t pinion which seems huge but works very well, very fast top speed 40 ish MPH and amazing punch bottom end. Ive had to set the MMM 70% punch control! Also runs very cool and gives 15 mins racing time. As for what pinion will fit the motor mount is adjustable so would imagine you can go as low as 10t and max as 20t

D'Oh I knew I should have ordered one while they were in stock, but it seemed I was never going to snag a MBX5-T (the first 5 got away!), so I didn't want to buy all the stuff and then find I bought an X-Ray! I'll just have to keep begging Mike...... Mike? pretty please?

I'll pick up the ESC mount sometime when I am ordering more stuff from the US. Modelsport lists them - out of stock now, but they might be able to get them.

In the first instance I am going to run a 1900kv motor that I have lying about, so if I am going to use the 4s packs I already have I'll need something like a 19T or 20T pinion to hit 40mph, so good to know that it will take up to 20T. I also have a 5s 30C 5000mAh lipo on the way which should be very nice, too, and would let me run a 16T like you do. But it is good to have a choice, so I'll probably order a couple of pinions...

Oh, one question slightly off topic (sorry, but it is to help me do my brushless calculations, honest!) - what are the stock tyres? The truck is still in the post, but I have the picture below - are they stock? If so, what diameter are they?
EDIT - I just realised, as you have the buggy not the truggy you are probably not familiar with the truggy wheel sizes! Sorry.
