m-chassis (M-05) pinion stopper

[tim.sanderson]

I was given a very dirty/beat up M-05 pro last weekend. I'm almost done rebuilding it, and putting in the electronics. I don't have a pinion stopper to properly space my pinion. The older m-chassis' had an opening on the other side of the motor, but the m-05 does not, so I can't just eyeball it like I normally would.
If someone would be a lamb, and measure one if they have one? I'm looking for the distance between the arrows:

Thanks!

Metric and inches. I'm assuming you want the measurement that is from the base to the inside of the top. It's a bit tricky to measure but it's 17.5 mm or 0.7 inches.

Excellent, thanks!

No problemo!

Not bad... the caliper is set to 17.5mm, and the pinion is on the motor were I guessed it should go before you sent the measurements.

We'll have to start calling you "eagle-eye".

Here's the chassis so far. Not bad for a freebie, huh?

Nice! I'm digging the shocks as well!
