brushless 1/5 4wd conversion about to begin! couple questions.

Yeah, I did read all the posts. I 'm going to use the 12T for now. I will slid it all the way back to the can and then the whole thing as close to the spur as I can get. That should minimise as much stress on the shaft as possible.

When you were running it hard was that with the 15T pinion? If so I would re-gear with the 12T and run it hard again. That will give you a better idea if it is caused by gearing.

I broke one of my straps that hold the motor to the plate...so I am currently making another one.
