The beginning of building the transmission up to bulletproof status begins here. SuperShafty.com provided his Ultimate Wraith motor plate and a set of steel gears for the transmission. www.SuperShafty.com
Usually it requires just a little bit of clearancing on the cover. A couple minutes with the Dremel is all that's required. I will run my cover once the transmission is done. There are still a lot of steps until this trans is finished.
Cool and I finally decided that I'm saving up for a Futaba BLS157HV and not going with any other servo beforehand, I'll just have to endure my 224 oz-inch cheapo servo for now :D
Thanks for the great build. I am either wanting to put a 2 speed trans or one with a dig unit. Which would you recommend. I primarily drive muddy trails with a lot of big wet rocks. Thanks
Do you plan on running the spur gear cover? If so do the MIPs clear? I have bought, following you advice, AX10 MIPs for my honcho and they are still in the package. I run a "Axial Wraith SuperTuff 48 Pitch 80 Tooth Plastic Spur Gear" (since i changed the stock motor to a 35t, might as well gear up a little). Do you think I could run the spur gear cover?
*Chrome-Moly Steel??* Dang!!! You ARE going for bulletproof! So..... what about Driveshafts? Do you just drill the MIP inputs to 6mm, or look for new shafts? Carmine 🚂
I used to drill to 6mm, but now that I can get quality heat treated chromoly 5mm shafts I don’t use the 6mm much any more. The 5mm and 6mm chromoly outputs we used to have available we’re not heat treated which made them not as strong.
I keep forgetting how OLD some of these videos are!! I'm glad there's a standard size upgrade for our Rigs. Well, I'm kinda Old too!! I am in it purely for the fun. I haven't been competitive in over 20 years!! I do want strength and durability, at reasonably low cost. Hey, thanks for actually answering my comments from these really old videos! Carmine 🚂
+rott1976 their tolerances are not great and cause too many issues. Their links are one of the biggest things to avoid. I like their trans gears, they perform really well!
