Need help with some measurments!!

[iluvmud]

Ok so i found another option for slider on the tranny of the Goliath, kinda like the T4 locker, but its the Axial diff. outputs....... i have a dilemma though. the bearings have too large of an inner diameter so i got to see how hard it is to find bearings for this thing, i already have a spur mounted up and ill post what i did if i can find the bearings.... so i need help since i dont have calipers to measure this... i need the OUTER diameter of the PTI tranny bearing, the INNER diameter of the Axial diff bearings, and the Width of the PTI bearing. And if any of you guys know a place to find bearings that would be a great help as well.

Thanks in advance

im on it right now!................. ok the pti bearing is 16mm tall and 4mm wide, and the bearing for the axial is 16mm tall,5mm wide, and the i.d. is 8mm.

so you'll need a bearing 8x16x4mm...here's somehttp://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...GS++&search=Go

ok heres the setup......




im using a losi spur, i was able to fashion an alignment tool with a GD300 gear reducer and drill it with a drill press..... itll be PERFECT with those bearings

[goobs]

can we get some pics of the alignment tool?

no :( i had to rig it at the LHS, since im an apt. dweller and dont have access to things like a drill press..... so i had to do it on the spot.... but I'll tell you what it was... it was a mini gear reducer like for a 280 motor(it was lying on their work bench so i dont have a part number... hell they didnt even know where it came from) and the output shaft held the Axial diff piece from the back side(think it was a 4mm diameter hole)..... but the spur was a tad bigger in diameter(my guesstimation was about 5mm). so i had to use shrink tube to change the diameter of the shaft so itll center the spur. i threw some spacers on the gear reducer to lift the spur off the reducer, then put the axial diff end piece over the spur to get my holes set.... then drilled away......... sounds harder than it really was.

well at least ur lhs lets u do that kinda stuff there!
sounds like it worked and thats all that matters!

LAWL.... yeah, well ive known them for years they let me "sneak" behind the counter................ i almost want to get a job there working one day..... just so i can spend that whole day workin on my R/C's...... its all we... i mean they do...lol
