whats the latest on this project? pinions available yet? conversion kit? videos? i know i keep asking but hey, i am excited. anyway, my 1/5 kit gets in tomorrow and i need to order some 8mm pinions so i am hoping you have some, one, anything. keep us posted.

while we are talking about pinions,

mike, would you be able to make an adapter so people can use your 5mm pinions with a KB 45 motor? i have a KB motor that has already been ground down to 5mm, but i bought it used and don't want to risk ruining my new KB motor.

so a 6mm~5mm adapter?

you might want to think that one over again... you cant take away diameter of a shaft with an adapter..

wow, i hadn't really thought that out very well.....

mike, could you start making 6mm bore mod1 pinions? i have one of your 18t 5mm mod1 pinions and it has no signs of wear. (unlike my RRP pinion)

The only way that is possible is to trim the ahaft down to 5mm...

Any updates to the conversion?

Sorry to keep bring this up, but I had really hoped to make a 5b for my next project. Mike can you let us know where this stands? With Patrick's thread on the ICE with new software it sounds like we have a ESC now. Any info would be appreciated.

I talked with Mike about this last week, he said the conversion was mostly done accept for a few tweaks on it to make it an easy drop in. The original prototype needed the buggy to be slightly modified in order for it to work, the tweaks to the conversion will fix that. He said the price will be in the $125-$150 range. If you emailed him, you might could get one before it hits the store.

I'm looking forward to getting one of these conversions.

Ready to order I got a sweet baja in progress for this thing

kazuaki · 09.14.2009, 04:25 PM

What will be the motor of choice for a setup like this? I have a decked out ESP powered baja that I would consider converting.

Neu 22 series for me

thomatrix · 11.01.2009, 05:54 PM

Does anyone know if they use the 5mm or 8mm shaft on these conversions?

the provided pinion gear will be 8mm bore for a 8mm shaft but i think you can get a bore reducer on the RCM store that can reduce the pinion bore from 8mm to 5mm. so you could go with either shaft size although i would recommend using the 8mm just from experience with my own 1/5 conversion and the amount of torque on the Neu 22xx motors. in my opinion, the slightest mistake in gear mesh or chassis flex would easily snap a 5mm shaft on these large, heavy conversions.
