I have just ordered a newEscand 17x2 motor but im struggling to find the right info i need on gears and pinions
What i would like to ask is this
* Do i need to upgrade the standard pinion that is on the 540 motor or just transfer it over?
* I understand there are only 3 pinion options on this chassis but what will work best on my 17x2 motor?
* Do the standard gears need changing at all?
*If i need to purchase a new pinion which size (not teeth amount) do i need? are they 0.6?
I also have a 12 turn motor, if this will go in on any of the 3 pinion sizes that would be great and i would use that instead of the 17x2 but again im unsure
only other mods are full ballrace kit which is fitted already
Many Thanks
