Need Pinion assistance, Not sure if I am in right forum

[BryanE]

Valid point, although I can only disagree for one reason: Budget
Most people don't know that $3-500 is cheap in RC
@BryanE if you ever have anymore struggles, questions, or input, feel free to hang out. If you find success with that car report back and tell us how you did it and what you now have learned!

IMO, everyone needs a 1/5 scale for the first one

I will definitely be hanging out more with you all.... I've learned a lot just since I posted for the first time. I consider that a big win already!!
As far as the car goes, I'm going to get it up and running one way or another just because I hate giving up on something I've started, As cheaply as possible. When I do I will post the results. After that I will be looking for recommendations for the next episode in the series.... Most likely a larger 4x buggy of some sort. and I'm sure I will have more questions and struggles as well, but that's all part of the game. I'm currently waiting on the pinion gear that I ordered from eBay but it won't be here until next Friday. Then I can finally finish the upgrade task I started and see how the brushless upgrade has turned out.
