Has anyone installed a 12t pinion gear, specifically on a Amp or Boost ? Ive slid the motor over as closest I can but it still ways away from the spur. Even a 15t pinion doesn't set right, barely catches. Are there different types 48p 3mm pinions ?

I have the same problem on the mini ruckus. The 12t pinion just barely fits. I have to take the motor out and hold it as far over in the mount as it goes while I tighten and it just makes a perfect mesh. I was going to dremel the slot a little if it didn't reach. I'm not familiar with how to adjust an amp or boost but could you modify it so it adjusts further?

Do you have a temp gun? As long as it's not running over 180 should be fine. I'm running 3500 kv reaktor with lipo on tock 18 tooth. The way the reaktor motor sits in the can the 18 tooth is a bit small. I'm running warm but not hot so I'm gonna try a 20 (I have) and 22

Same here. Went brushless and bought 12/14/18t pinions. Started on the 12 and it was nice. Clocked it at 26mph with a heavy phone strapped to it dragging on a tire. I put the 14t on to try and it just did backflips or spun out if you didn't ease the throttle gently. Went back to the 12 and am quite happy with it.
