pinion is 32p right?every pinion clip i have had has fallen off on it's own so I wouldn't be concerned. I have been running Robinson Racing hardened pinion gears on all my rigs.
That Safe-D Circlip is just fluff. Spektrum Marketing BS.It may be a dumb question but the safe pinion clip wont work on 3s arrma motor right? i want to run a 17t 0.8 mod pinion if its not worth it to get a safe one what should i get?
now that ik im gonna purchase a cheap traxxas pinion (32p 17t) and some TL i think i will be fine on 4s.That Safe-D Circlip is just fluff. Spektrum Marketing BS.
Toss it. You don't need it. I would toss the Crush sleeve if there as well.
Just know that you need Threadlock Blue/ Loctite 242 or 243 on the pinion's Grub screw. Use heat first before loosening any fasteners with Threadlocker on it. (metal to metal)
And let TL cure for 24 hours before running the rig.
The Safe-D clip is dumb.
They fall off by themselves and are supposedly there to keep the pinion from falling off if the Grub screw loosens. They are technically one-time use parts. Need a bag of these Circlips on your bench for every time you remove the pinion+ circlip. Circlips get stretched and damaged once they are removed. Will never stay back on snug.
Makes no sense to me.
doesn't .8 = 32p? or am i just dumb?32 Pitch gears will be fine.
just to make sure the spur gear wont strip easier with a 32p right?@1999fd, No, as I stated above, they are in technical terms not the same. But very, very close enough to use.
Measuring gear Pitch and measuring Modulus gears are two different standards. They don't translate to each other. Pitch is an old American standard. Globally these days, Modulus is used. Metric. More mainstream.
if spur is plastic no worries at all. The very subtle difference will not cause any issue. I intermix the two often. I Use traxxas 32p pinions with a .8 mod Arrma spur frequently with no issue.just to make sure the spur gear wont strip easier with a 32p right?
