Gear case mod

[tweak6]

Does anyone know the link to a thread that shows how to mod the gear case to move the motor so you can run the servo between the axle and motor?

I'm pretty sure people are clearancing the axle tube to accomplish that, not re-setting the motor or messing with the gear box. Look at the berg tubes that rc bros sells for an idea. i'd take a picture of my set up, but I'm at work right now.

It's originally referred to as the 86jeep steering mod, and it does require repositioning of the motor (vertically) to allow the pinion to mesh with the large second gear as the servo prevents the motor from adjusting forwards to attain proper gear mesh.

Tubes like the ones offered by Dlux & RcBro have a small outside diameter so modification of the tube is not required, however, if using stock berg tubes, the long side tube needs to be notched to allow the servo to have enough space to mount between the moor and tube.

Here's the link to a good pic of how it was first done. Everyone does it a little differently now but it should help you wrap your mind around what it takes. Take note of the two additional holes made to relocate the motor upwards as well as the window for the pinion shaft goes through to clear the bearing on the end of the motor.

There is more than one way to do it. Here is a post with some pics of how I do them.
