 We also indirectly benefit from those rookie teams having well-built and working drivebases. It helps raise the level of performance across the board, making for a better competitive environment.

Re: Removing the stock pulley from the 3" CIM
BE VERY CAREFUL WITH HEAT!!! Just tried this method and both motors are now permanently damaged (The two motors arrived yesterday). The heat apparently loosened the adhesive that locks the armature to the shaft, and the shafts moved inward about 3/16". A Mapp gas torch was used to heat the pinion, and then a pin punch was used to hammer the shaft from the pinion. It didn't work. I then became frustrated and hammered the pinion on an anvil, which did work. The pinion to brittle enough to crack it with a hammer. I highly reccomend breaking the pinion to remove it rather than the application of heat, which may prove disastrous.
