Thanks!

- OT-41 Final Pinion Gear - Replace with ParguStore equivalent or with Hot Racing 19t Steel 32p Pinion Gear 5mm Bore NSG3219 (Cheaper alternative).

- Ever wanted a wing mount for your Optima, well Kyosho made one: OT65 Wing Mount that fits the Ultima as well. Now lets find an alternative.

- W5061 Universal Swingshaft 62.5mm alternatives - Kyosho LA245 CVDs for the Lazer ZX5 are decent alternatives - Look at these two threads for details:

Optima Mid Universals - Modern Replacements? - from Tamiya Club

Something about a Rocky. I think! - from RC10Talk.com

Pictures of the LA245 shaft compared to W5061 and the 12mm Hexes for the LA245 as per the content from Coelacanth in the RC10Talk Thread.

Motor Timing:

Comments:

The 4 lines in the blue endbell above the line in the can? (top pic)....if those move right ( direction of the arrow) timing increases...if they move left, timing decreases...its just a different view so you can see the timing marks most motors have

On most motors, each mark is 12 degrees except the first, which is zero (so 0,12,24,36)...
