Use a standard 540 silver can, paper shim plate, fit Tamiya 54628 08 Module Steel Pinion Gear (17T), flipped. Just as recommended by Tamiya. Works a treat.
New to the hobby, thanks for the video. Where can I buy those lights and how to setup them? I have a Carson reflex stick controller and can’t find any button that I could use for that. Thanks!
I got the lights from sky rc hobby store on ali express. Watch my video here on lights and switches. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EFosLQSD8X0.html
Pretty sure you can get a pinion from Tamiya that specially deals with this problem? # 3515006 18T Pinion Gear (MD11) is the oart nuumber. Fits fine on the 540. It's the original pinion from the Hornet which I believe had the same chassis but a 540 motor. The whole hop ups and compatibility thing is a nightmare. Tamiya don't make it easy.
I’ve an 18t pinion and a sports tuned silver can motor coming from Amazon soon…. I just bought it on a whim and it’s for my 2015 monster beetle with an etronix radio set up… I’m gonna run it on a 2s lipo as well… am I doing the right thing??
@Mauzyrock RC Not sure if I still have the stl file, I'll have to check another one of my computers to see, I still have the gcode, I'm away from home working till Friday. I will check back in then.
I said in the video if you buy those pinions I used you need to make a shim for the tamiya silvercan 540. Like I said the motor shaft is not long enough.
