I am new to the RC world and have been having fun with the new ST. I have upgraded a few minor things and am looking to upgrade the motor. For now I want to just drop in a X-Speed HT motor and get a 13T & 14T pinion. I am sure eventually I'll upgrade to a brushless system, but for now I don't want to drop the money. I have done my homework and have decided what I want to try for now; but I CANNOT find "where" to buy the correct pinion sizes or the x-speed HT motor. Can someone please direct me in the right direction I have spent counless hours searching for pinions and the x-speed motor and have had no luck. Any advice to this Newbie would be helpful... :confused:

Thanks for the info. I'll keep looking Dinball doesn't have it and the half-eight shop only lists the X-speed motor for the buggy. Jaymz, how is the 16T working for you?

Yeah, I'm still having trouble finding the X-Speed HT all I can find is the SP. If you can pick up a HT great! Also I am not sure if I should go with the 14T or 16T pinion. I want to go a little faster but do not want to lose to much torque. If you have both I'll get both and experiment, if not the 14T is good for now. TNX...
