Re: New gearbox and gear options Properly molded, properly meshed and supports, and the right material choice, plastic gears are all we need. Question is do we want to go on a limb and trust Exceed's choices... Only one way to find out...wait for you guys to test and break them. |

After that I searche for a berg small 3rd, finally got one and it meshed perfectly. |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Do you know if the mt axle shafts are the same length as any other axles? Since I already have ax10 aluminum knuckles this is what I'm thinking of getting. I want to run some XVD axles without having to switch to bully knuckles and shorten the shafts. |

I dont plan on running any plastic gears at a comp until they have proven themselves. I will swap out the plastic for stock gears the night before each comp. Quote:
This is one of the downsides to buying a car that not many people have. You need to experiment, research, buy parts and waste some money just to find parts that will work with your car. If you want somebody to give you the answers or be able to buy parts and simply install, you need to get a axle or parts in this example that everybody else is running. |
Re: New gearbox and gear options That's what I was afraid of, guess it's time to do some testing! |

Re: New gearbox and gear options Way cool stuff Erik. Thanks for pulling this together for all to deliberate. Options are a crawlers best friend and this will spawn more crazy one-off hand-built hybrid rigs...the true essence of crawling. Nice work. J |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Any info on when these will be for sale? |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Great work Erik I had a few people contact me about making custom tubes and shafts for these cases a few times recently. It definitely got the gears turning in my head, and I was about to buy some goodies to do some R&D.... But life kind of took over my time by form of the engine in my Toyota popping:evil: I am going to order some goodies and try to help add to your hard work"thumbsup" as time allows. I have some ideas for axle shafts. Thinking of maybe making tubes to work with the wraith shafts? I think a wider axle, and narrower offset wheel would be nice for the scrub radius and the steering power. Im glad you spent some time on this. If I couldn't be the first to the table to offer info on these axles, youre the only other person I would want working on it since we both seem to think alike:ror: Anyhow, keep up the good work, and you will be hearing from me VIA text shortly:flipoff: |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Just ordered 2 of everything but the little 12t gears which they didnt have in stock:cry: We shal see how fun this will be. I have ordered from this place before, and my only complaint is that it took for god damn ever to get stuff. It took forever to even ship out, let alone get to me |
Re: New gearbox and gear options If these gear boxes hold up, witch I don't think will be a problem, then I think a direct bolt axle tube would be good. So, basically someone could buy the MT gear box and gears, and buy the tubes that bolt on, then they only need to mod the 4th to use a berg locker so that the nice aftermarket berg axles can be used!"thumbsup" |
Re: New gearbox and gear options I'm thinking bully tubes will bolt right on, dunno about the inner bearing though. |

All my tubes that I make from here out (as soon as details are figured out) will have the correct hole diameter to bolt to the gear box. Then, all you would have to do is clearance the notch and drill 4 holes, after that youre good to go. Quote:

Re: New gearbox and gear options If your going to put all berg gears in the case, could you just mill it thinner so you don't need adapters? So the case is the same width as a berg? |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Quote:

Re: New gearbox and gear options Edit: I dont think you can mill it. The MT and Berg are the same at the locker. If you milled it, neither of the lockers would fit anymore. A kit to switch over to Berg gears will allow for either stock MT gears or Berg gears and should be less than $10 per case. |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Can't wait, once again great work"thumbsup" Later, Farmer |
Re: New gearbox and gear options Erik, Ive got a feeling youve already got this rear axle together.:mrgreen: Pics?"thumbsup" |
