Are you sure you guys with Hyperions 5K/6K - micro pinions.

I am using an RC18T 10t pinion. I cant get a good mesh to save my live and I have owned 10 RC cars and been doing this for 10 years.

Are we sure these are right???

Hey BB...the ST you got it used right. You are having spur issues without the mesh. Maybe the spur is shot....

is there enough slot in the chassis for a 10 T pinion?

Berm,

I cleaned each tooth one by one on the spur and slipper. The rough spot I had is minimal now. Supposedly the guy I got it from only ran it a few times. There is not a scratch on it anywhere including the bottom of the chassis. Not sure how the spur or slipper could be bad.

auto,
I am using a 10T for the 18T. Also tried the stock 12. I do not see how a 9T would fit. Maybe others could get it to work - but I think 10T is as small as youcan go.

...AE pinions are an option but HPI is plug and play...

How are AE and HPI different? I am pretty sure they are exactly the same.

The stock 12T pinion wont mesh either.
