| Re: New gearbox and gear options Yeah, I think taking these to the super could be awesome. If you used the MT gears at 6mm wide, it might be time to go higher voltage. I am not positive that small gears and shafts can hold on higher voltage and large tires but its a step in the right direction for sure. Quote:

There isnt much question if there will be interest in these. I sent the drawing over to my CNC guy so we should have costs on those adapters soon. I am getting quite a few PM's about these. If possible, please post your questions in here so we can all learn from them and I only have to answer the question once. | |||

When Tgreer told me about these I just immediately dismissed them as I thought they were just off brand, Wal-Mart type garbage. Maybe they still are, but you can buy stock replacement parts and more importantly, since you can upgrade any part on them to be a top of the line/competitive super at any point, that alone makes them worth buying. If I were just getting into supers and didnt want to spend a ton of cash, I would get their ARTR or RTR. The ARTR is $140 and RTR is $170. I have brought the supers up to 801 to see if anybody would be interested as they could now get into the class super cheap. I think it would be cool if USRCCA would be willing to move the minimum wheel size down so these could compete too. Supers are by far the most fun class to drive, the only thing holding the class back is the fact that you have to fully commit and spend money to get into them. These $150ish cars could change that whole class. Quote:

I see there being a run on these parts. Are the gears Standard 48 ptich? Or metric? Last edited by Beest; 01-20-2013 at 01:35 PM. |

I was not trying to be rude. The point I was trying to make is that I think a lot of people will be closed minded (like I was) and I think most will be pleasantly surprised at the possibility of these axles. Really, its more of a bash against me than you. | ||

Does the plastic seem to be tough enough to hold up?

| Re: New gearbox and gear options I was honestly shocked at the quality of the exceed when my friend brought it to me! I still cant understand how they can sell it for $150! Im not saying it the best crawler out there, but its a killer rig for $150 bucks! |

I was wondering about both, gears and housings. If the housings hold up to duty on your super they should hold fine on 2.2. Anyone had the plastic gears in the exceed 1.10 rig? |

I would assume that using the Mt gears changes the gear ratio???

You will probably want to line 1 of the 3 existing holes up on the tube to the holes on the gear box. In order to do this, you will need to grind some off the bearing notch on the tube. You have 2 options on where to grind, top or bottom of the notch. I choose top and that was the WRONG choice. If you do the top, you end up taking too much and getting into one of the existing threads. If you grind the bottom of the notch, you will line the hole right above the notch up and then youre good to go. In this picture you can see where I tried to notch the top and it got into the threads In this picture you can see how you want to rotate the tube up, grind the notch below and line the hole up. Here is an overhead of how the 4 holes sit and then the other 2 holes you do not use since they are for the Berg. | |

So you drilled new holes in your tube instead of new ones in the cases! Didn't think of it that way. Interesting! |

You could go either way. I just figured it would be easier for people to drill holes in the tube. If you do the case, you have to counter sink the hole which I didnt assume many people would want to do.
