I sized my mx400 motor last night as well, I agree it will drop right in, what about the gear, what are you going to use for that?
you had to throw a snag into my evil little plan didn't you? hmmmm..
I was actually thinking (I didn't do much on the gear by the way) that I'd use the pinion from my MX for it, if that don't work, I'll use the stock pinion for the CP, when/if it flies then I'll start looking at number of teeth that I need to use...
the gear on the mx does not mesh with the head gear on the CP, and the pinion on the CP will not fit on the MX motor, the motors have different shaft sizes.
I am going to put the CP Pinion in a collet in the lathe and ream out the hole so it fis on the mx motor
one small advantage being a tool maker, I was alos going to take a head from a mx 450 and put it onto the cp
that blows!
but, didn't I see someone do a conversion to include an MX400 main gear on the CP? [sm=confused.gif] let me look around again and see what I can find, I'll use the MX gear/pinion combo if I can make it work.
yeah, man... the conversion link!
