    Changing the Pinion Gear/Gear Ratio You must always use the same spec of motor and size of pinion gear on both motors in the Mini-LST2. When you install hotter motors you may find it necessary to install smaller pinion gears to keep them from overheating. This is usually caused when you are running in a confined area where the motors are not allowed to rev freely.

    Setting the Gear Mesh 1. Insert a small strip of common notebook paper between the pinion and spur gear by feeding it into the gears as you slowly turn the spur gear with your fingers. 2. Lightly push the motor in toward the spur (if the motor will not move freely, loosen the top screw slightly) until the pinion is resting solidly against the spur and tighten both mounting screws.
