Seriously, this alu/carbon maxx looks awesome !! And good choice for the body, love it.

Is the motor well aligned with the CF plate ? (pic angle confusion I guess).

Thanks man... Yep... I think the angle of the shot is causing the illusion of misalignment...

Wow, look at all that shiny stuff
Looking good Alien

Awesome truck, seriously...I love it!

The one thing I have to say, though, is you desperately need a new pinion...yours is finished!

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

yep... been going through quite few of them... will be ordering some news one from Mike soon... I hope the hardening issues have been resolved.

[Chadworkz]

Looks like your mesh might not be exactly right...what method do you use to set it?

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

Hi Chad... the mesh is indeed correct... if you do a search you will find that a few users have experienced premature/rapid deterioration of the newer 'lightened' pinions...
I think it related to the hardening processed used by the persons making the pinions for Mike. I have the older design in larger tooth counts and they are doing much better...

thanks

That pinion looks very much like the $3 Inturdy ones.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

... hmmm... interesting, do you have a link to these pinions?

[Chadworkz]

I run Mike's pinions and none of them are milled out like that, but I have never run a "lightened" pinion of Mike's. I think since the milled pocket goes so deep into the pinion, it is letting the pinion "squash" resulting in messed up mesh and torn up pinions...maybe, I don't know.

It seems inturdy have changed their pinions too. Their website is different since I was there last.

Hi Chad, have a look at the below:

How to keep pinion from falling off?

[Chadworkz]

I've never had a pinion fall off.

[ANGRY-ALIEN]

That's great Chad, but the link takes you to page two of the thread which speaks to issues with the hardening of the pinons. see the link below:
