Gearing Question (pinion)

[th67ss]

Can the pinion be changed to anything other than 13th with out the adjustable motor mount? I think "No" is the answer but I wanted to make sure.



Thanks....Tom

If you're lucky, and don't bash it too hard, you might make one tooth smaller last for a pack or so. Anything else would just mess it up too much.

13t only for stock setup. You can elongate the holes for the motor screws and that will allow you to move the motor and use smaller pinions. I've done that before.

Dremeling slots would be cheaper.
