Hello and thank you! I'm trying to upgrade mine but had to dremel off the gear on the motor. Do you have any idea what size the pinion gear is? They gave me a 48p 28t at the hobby store but that gear that will not flush up against the drive gear. It is too small in diameter. I can't find a proper size call out to order a replacement :(

Lol, I havent even gotten mine yet but I've ALREADY ordered a carbon chassis kit, AND the brushless motor, servo, esc, and radio are also all waiting to be shoved into it once the car arrives. Got a good deal on a metal servo, stronger esc, and 4000kv motor as a combo and a dumboRC Radio set will complete the build and give me a nice gyro to assist if I need it. I thought about getting the 3mm, but SOME flex is often a good thing and I didnt feel like having to heat it to fit it. I'll add a center top brace if I must, or machine some sort of solution on my own CNC.

@classicvwbugs 2 жыл бұрын
because the receiver is a 2 in one with the esc on this kit out of the box. When upgrading, you would need to change the ESC so it can handle the brushless conversion. All ESCs on the market that you purchase to upgrade are by themselves, so then you would need a new receiver with controller.
