I've got everything set in the chassis where I want it now, the last thing I need to buy for it is a suitable motor pinion.  How do I work out how many teeth I should be running?  I have a 3030kV motor (roughly 13 turn), 5000maH 2S LiPo.  Please can someone help?

Lots of parts here. You can do a google search too.



Have you ordered parts from them? Any issues? I need a new linkage set...changed out the servo and went to readjust the linkages, then discovered the previous owner used red loctite on the set screws. This is the only place I could find a new set. I already ordered just curious if they have worked out for you.

Edit: Well, I should say I almost ordered it. Had it in my cart but $10 shipping on a $15 part made me change my mind. LHS is going to check and see if they can order it for me.

He's shipping it to me with a Losi ESC good down to 12 turns and a 15 turn HPI motor.  I have a feeling the 15 turn motor will be to much for it though.  I have a few vintage trinity monster horsepower motors (1985 and 1987) i may throw one of them in it.

It may be much, much later than the 80's; only with the newest Blizzard SR have they gone back to the twin motor system.  I bought my Nitro Blizzard in 2004/2005 and the electric version (Blizzard EV) that I've just converted it to was available at the same time.  They then released the GP (nitro) & EP (electric) DF300 Ohara Corp. versions which had a more updated bodyshell (but I don't think any mechanical changes); according to the Kyosho website they were released in March 2006, so yours could be much newer than you think...

Thanks.....WE do have the price a little high...as we know it will be expensive to ship them. The last Heavy metal NIB did 1000 on EBAY..this one is nicer...


And we haven't seen a DX for sale in 2 years....


Appreciate the comments...

Could be a stripped spur gear, bad gear-mesh, snapped or loose drive chains, stripped drive sprockets (that the chains run around), or like you say; a blown diff.  Unless you strip it down, impossible to say for certain...

I can't find the fzw-18 steel differential anywhere.

I can find the regular replacement parts only.

I'm running a 3s lipo and 7000kv motor! overkill

Any links to aftermarket parts?

cheers
