I like them when they work, they look and sound sick. My one issue with them is that there was too much play in how the gears were set up, so I made the suggestion to @MorrisHsu to change the design, which he did. Now the new added thrust bearing seems to be doing well and there is no longer any play in the gears at all. I’ve yet to take the new one out but hope they perform well.
@KaramQ, @Skunk… the original sketch. I made it for Old School mounting bolts (which are countersunk and will seat flush). Come with reinforced lower plates since the brackets will be dropped.
Yeah, just awesome! Questioning myself if its possible to mount them vertically?
don’t know why but it would be another option for new extreme Sofu and winfly boards:heart_eyes:
One thing we always do on the Baja team I was part of is to run the new gearbox with valve polishing compound for a few minutes at low speed to set the gears, probably would help a bit, just keep in mind that all bearings will be ruined, so if possible buy some cheap ones to do that then clean everything and put the good ones
