LC Racing EMB1 - build question
Just building this buggy - great quality, nice build.
Its the first time I have dipped my toe into a micro buggy. Have got EZRUN brushless combo 25A ESC and 12T 7800kv motor (as in pic compared to my usual 540-size motor). Cant believe how small the motor is! The spindle on motor is so small that the pinion wont fit centrally as when grub is tighted it is 'off-centre'. is it simply a matter of putting something around the spindle to make it thicker - if, so what do people use? I'm wondering if I have got the correct sized motor? Thanks

I built one of these up when they first came outlike yourself the kit pinions didn't fit the motor I had got to go in it ... It was a case of finding what the shaft diameter is on motor and buying the correct pinions to fit..
Hope this helps a little ..

Glad you're enjoying the car, that motor you have though is a little small. It will work fine! It just may get a little hot. The kit motor that Schumacher offer is a little bigger, the one you can see in my car is the same size as the kit Schumacher motor -

Looks like 2mm shaft pinions are not easy to come by!
I wonder about buying the schumacher motor and using with Ezrun 25a ESC or possibly selling my ezrun combo on ebay and buying something better. Seems a bit of a non-starter if motor just not up for the job - might be best to change before I use it? Dont want to spend too much as only initially bought this to bash around with my kids, but obviously buying a decent esc/motor that will last and provide a basis for th future is worth it What do you think?
