Yeah if you have one. Tbh I swear I get better results just taking a lighter to my metal - metal areas. I've you get them out once it's good forever but that first time can be rough
Works too if you have a tip that can get enough surface area in the right spot and an iron that gets hot enough. I've done that before without issue just takes longer because you obviously aren't going to be able to use solder to help transfer the heat faster.
Motor mount was tough, pinion even worse. Thing wouldn't budge, even with the grub screw already out. Warmed it up with a lighter for a few mins, until it finally came off...
I've always thought about getting something like this or making something like it but never have. Would make it a lot easier.
Those generally don't work on the Arrmas because of the motor mounting plate.
Ah yeah I can see that. Would have to pull the motor out which would ultimately be impossible with a big pinion on thus defeating the purpose. Maybe make my own
People are using bearings and shims in order to have a surface against which to press with the C clip because the C clip adds an extra retaining system if the pinion comes loose. Even if you are not using a safe-d5 pinion, but are still using the C clip in the method described, the pinion cant come off even if the grub screw loosens. I would recommend going bigger than 20t, like a 23-25t depending on how fast you want to go, because even if you aren't concerned with breaking 50mph, using a 24 or 25t will make in air control significantly better during jumps. Main reason people use robinson and tekno is hardness, and also tekno pinions have a giant fatty grub screw which is virtually impossible to strip out.
Thank you , the reason I had said 20t was I have one , but won't use now because I see it is half as thick as the pin/spur on the K8S. Speed is ok with the stock 17t , figured 20t would make it a little faster without being concerned with motor temps . I am leaving the stock electronics for now , where thought everyone I've seen put in the 23T's , had changed their electronics . Do you think putting a 23T on the stock electronics will be OK ? Of course I wouldn't mind the extra speed , so maybe I'll just wait a few more days until that D 23T pinion comes out from Arrma .
Yeah no issues I'm on stock electronics 24t temps don't even break a sweat.
Not anymore I just bought all of them to capture the market.
On my kraton the whole motor assembly was ruined cause of loctite and over tighten screws and bolts
Oh wow, I have to ask “how”.
Curious too
