well i have an old inferno DX i bought about 2 years ago. well i havent ran the buggy in a long time. i also bought the best of the best and got an O.S VZ-B...... i think thats it. well it has a short shaft on it. the motor was fast. well to fast for the buggy. i put an 17 tooth bell on it from what i remeber and blew the tires off of it.

what i want to know is. what car or buggy will my short shaft motor fit into?? I'm thinking of going to a car for speed. and is there a convertion for this motor to make it a normal shaft?
I'm not new to the rc world at all. a long time ago i ran a RC-10 when it came out and took all kinds of titles home. when i got older and got a very good paying job i bought my inferno and went all out. i know your thinking of the DX and laughing. well the DX has alot of history but now parts are hard to find for it. all it needs is one screw. but i want a car. i have all but a starter box to get ready back into the game of RC.

thanks bob
 
If you buy an ofna shim kit they come with the conversion to sg shaft. It is a nut tied to a shaft so your clutchbell/bearings can slide over the shaft .
 
thanks alot! its really hard to find a car that takes the .21 motors for the right price
 
yea that looks more like it.

its for my O.S. VZ-B. the motor is still new. hell i only put 1/4 gallon through it due to a screw on my DX went MIA. i havent ran it sence. sad sad strooy. i dug every thing out that i had for racing and i didnt think i had this much $$$ into this thing. I've got all top of the line stuff for the bugger. lol
