Nitro mt1 H.P.I.

[bigpic]

I have hpi nitro mt1.I had a hpi 18ss engine installed [very fast].First run after brake in .I striped the teeth off of the spur gear,a 52 tooth[1m]hpi.every thing seems lined up. Can I get a stronger gear than the stock plastic? And what does the different number of teeth on the gears do? thanks bigpic.https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=9#

Hey Bigpic.

are you running a slipper? I'd suggest one with the monster mill ya put in it to help the teeth on the spur out a little.

I know they make a steel spur for the NMT. My friend had to use one when he created his insane twin hyper 8-port NMT....

use a slipper or the diffs will get the peanuty end of the stick if you know what I mean.

there needs to be a place of give in your drive-train system, make it something easy and cheap.

I'd install a slipper and change the diffs to an rrp steel set with aluminum housing. then you should be solid.

thanks, I'll try the slipper.

make sure that mesh is set properly, and let off the gas when it lands. i ran an MT for quite a while, even raced it. with many HOT motors in it, and never needed a slipper, i found i only stripped spurs when my engine was misaligned, either by my error, or a large jump that shifts the engine mounts on the chassis.
