My buddy is building his clod from the ground up buying NIP parts from ebay etc.
Today he told me his moters aren't quite right on the gearbox: the gears don't run smooth.
Looking at the pinions he got I think he may have bought the wrong pitch. There's no mention of the pitch on the package but a gear advisory table on the rear; for among others the avante.
Am I right in thinking he got 0.5 or 0.6 module while what he really needs is 32dp?

Re: pinion question for clod'rs
A quick eBay search seems to confirm 32dp of 7-9 teeth.
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Re: pinion question for clod'rs
strange: his manual says 13T (at least that's what he just told me on the phone).
I've posted him a 32DP 13T. We'll see if he can use it or not.

Re: pinion question for clod'rs
32 pitch 13 tooth is stock for the clod.
if he wants to run different gearing i recomend rcguy's motor mounts. they allow for everything up to 16 tooth while most others only allow for smaller pinions.

Re: pinion question for clod'rs
Thanks for your confirmation.
My friend's no racer and wants to keep it pretty much stock... boring I know
I tried convincing him if he's going to want to run it without damage he should get the lexan shell from parma and at least wideners; both to keep it from tipping too eaily, but, to no avail
