    Circular motor shaft, gear with a flat spot, what do i do?

    Nope. It would be better to add a small flat for the grub screw to lock onto. But that being a small scale RC, it might be fine without it. I would add it, but I have the files and a rotary tool if needed to do so. Make sure whatever you do you put a drop of blue loctite on the grub screw and...

    With the pinion I linked, you won't need to file the shaft. Hope it works though.

    The pitch is determined by dividing the number of teeth on the gear by the pitch diameter. Pitch diameter is the tangent contact point of the teeth. If you take a picture of the gear with a tape measure laying across it at its center, I can probably tell you what pitch your gear is, as long as...

    You may be able to find out what that pinion is and buy a different one. You need to know what pitch it is, and I have jo idea what that is.

    Circular motor shaft, gear with a flat spot, what do i do?

    The motor shaft is hardened steel, which is likely harder than any file you're going to use. If it were me, I would get a diamond file to put a flat on the motor shaft.
