418 - Finally a wide choice of 48p pinions!

I've never really cared much about these things but the upcoming summer holidays, the planned motor swaps in my BBX and my Ultima and the search for a "thermal stability" for this two buggies has suggested the purchase of a adequate choice of 48p steel pinions.

I've decided to go for two Ruddog sets: even and odd. So I should be ready for every event. In addition I can count in two more 16t e 17t RW Racing pinions bought weeks ago.

Here the "even" set: 18t to 26t...

... and the "odd" set: 19t to 27t.

I rescued a servo plastic box to store all my new pinions and I will complete it with a sponge bottom... it could sound a bit rough and not so pro but if Masaaki Hirosaka, the master himself, uses rescued boxes to store his stuff who am I to not do the same?

Some years after its build my Wild One have been revamped with some new parts and fixing some breakages.

416 - Almost Ready For Holidays: gathering some stuff

August is on its way and our summer holidays too, This year I haven't a kit to bring with us and to build during the fresh alpine evenign so I'm planning to bring my Kyosho Ultima Dirtmaster built during last year summer holidays.

My equipment have been lightened already thanks to some useful usb-C powered items: my new soldering iron and the G-Force charger neverthless the stuff to pack remain a lot.

As spare motor, if the Team Orion will prove to be undersized,  I decided to use my LRP Super Series Team Tested that claims 27.000 rpm. I've also purchased a good backup of steel pinons from Ruddog to find the proper gear ratio to keep performance without overheats.
