i need pinions, motor mount and more!

Help guys im running the composite pinions and they like melt?

lol so im looking for some alloy ones..

since i use a brushless motor...

anyways

i cant find the alloy pinions anywhere

and also i need new bearings ...

i read about the non lubed bearings that spin like crazy? but i dont know where to get them or how to make my bearings like that...

and also i need a new motormount...

which motormount would you suggest? im currently using a custom 370 motormount but it isnt aligned properly...so im after a good aftermarket or original motormount that will fit 370 sized motors...


thanks in advanced

and also are these bearings any good?

you can find pinions galore from there......and if you want a good motor mount then i suggest looking at the jwerks....there thicker and a lot more robust......they dont warp like the Xray motor mount.

Now as for the bearings it would be best to soak them in motor cleaner.....when was the last time there were cleaned out and lubed.

Glad you found a site man......now as for the pinions i would go with 15t and up......and as for the spurgear i would try a 42 and play with the pinion gears from there.

cool cool

so the motor mount would fit?

my chassis fits the stock plastic motormount...

so im guessing it may or may not fit...

do you have any ideas? =D

and would you have any idea where to get a jwerks motormount?

I run the 44spur gear with a 17t pinion....its plenty fast. And just to let you know that its always good to have a small selection of pinions.
