maxx trans rear disco project

[skid]

Been working with a emaxx transmission trying to do the rear disconnect. Using only a low gear set. I cut a window in in the stock gear box. My plan is to use a second output shaft with the low output gear fixed to this shaft. This gear would run off the original low output gear. When shifted to second(without the high gear set) the original output shaft spins free but the second shaft will still be driven. Still trying to figure out how to mount the second output shaft without building a whole new gear box.

FOr a second I forgot we were talking about rc and not on marlin crawlers website.

Man you guys are getting really creative and making huge advancements in this hobby. All the respect in the world to those who are thinking beyond the borders and actually trying to make it happen

good luck with it

i had the same idea to try with my tmaxx and then use the break on the rear to hold it in place, it looked to hard for right now seeing as how the semester is ending but hope fully you can figure it out and make it easy. good work hope it turns out nice

Originally I planned on using brakes of tmaxx to lock the rear. Figured I work on the disco first.

youd have to disco it also or else it wont work the break will stop both cause there conected

The brake would only be applied when shifted to disco(2nd). The rear driveshaft would be connected to the first/original output shaft. In disco mode, that shaft wouldn't move and the gear acts as idler. Makes sense in my head.

ok ya you got it, i though you ment just use the break, ya that is how i pictured it.
