mod 1 pitch i think he meant one tooth. I do believe it is a 32 pitch for the gear. The cooling fan attached to the motor mounted heatsink. Good pickup if you plan on getting upgraded batterys as the longer the motor runs the hotter it gets.

The cooling fan barely will cut run time at all. But will reduce temps quite a bit.

Honestly i run a 16 tooth pinion and the stock gear on the diff, i get out of the hole and still have nice top end for the long straights.

Matt you plan on racing or just playing around and bashing.
no, mod 1 refers to the pitch. they are not 32 pitch, its a module 1 pitch. i called redcat to confirm this
any decent hobby store will have mod 1 pinion gears. you can find them on ebay as well.
just make sure you get one for the size shaft of the motor. i think the 8e's motor has a 5mm shaft, but it may be a 3mm. youd have to check that.
