Round motor shaft will pinion slip?
I just installed a new motor on my RC18T and the shaft is round, the stock motor has a shaft that has been ground down on one side for the pinion to grip. Will the round shaft on the new motor make the pinion slip?
Thanks guys

RE: Round motor shaft will pinion slip?
I'm guessing your "new" motor is Brushless???
Several of the mini-sized BLmotor manufacturers do manufacturer their motor shafts completely round, because they've found the small shaft diamater it hurts the balance of the motor by flat-siding them, even going as far as saying you can void the warranty if you put a flat spot on the shaft.
But to answer your question....NO, it will not slip (as long as you tighten it properly - though you should check it, as with any bolt/screw on your truck, from time to time to make sure it's tight.
