Well worth a try. Where do i get a gear for the motor?

that there is tricky
your gonna have to take your spur out and try and figure out its pitch. I know MT2s are MOD1 not sure what that one you have is.
If it happens to be MOD1 like mine was your going to have to make a driveshaft adapter (piece of hollow tube with a 5mm diameter) to shove on the motors driveshaft

Here is towerhobbies listed spur gear for it if this helps any?

hard to tell from the pic You almost have to take it to a hobby shop and hold it near the various pinions

I have a spur gear from one of my old pedes i use to own. It has a huge hole in the middle.

dudecat

OK i am confused. The spur gear is hooked direct to the tranny right? So i need the little gear that goes on the motor that matches the spur gear to make it work right?

SyCo_VeNoM

yup that little gear is called a pinion

dudecat

Ah so i need a pinion gear that matches the teeth on the spur gear. Ok now i gotcha.

cumquat

no they dont

most nitros use 32p. robinson racing makes a decent sized set of 32p, 48p and 64p gears.

Kewl so what exactly do i measure to make sure the gear will work with the motor and spur gear?

dudecat

Well i talked to my father about rc and decided i will give this one to him. He wants a beginner truck and this would do just fine. I will help him find the parts he needs to get it going again.

i usually just use a smaller pinion gear than i think will work and add teeth to bring the speed up until either its fast enough or the motor cant take any bigger pinion.
