Was looking over the manual, optional parts, second to last page, part number 86336

http://www.wheelspinmodels.co.uk/ite...-HPI-MT-2__5d8

VERY nice!

Have not stripped my originals but I know what I am getting if I ever do!

Harley · 07-24-2007, 08:51 PM

Yes it is a nice option. JIA mentioned it in the WK axle breakdown sticky.

I don't think I have read of any strippage, but with how badly some of these things are shimmed from the factory I won't be surpised when I do read it.

Whoops.... Musta missed that part....

Sorry!

I have stripped a set....

Just mentioning that when you switch to the hardened gears you switch to a 5mm output from the stock 6mm output so you will need to change the drive shaft. I have them on one of my WK's

cembom · 07-24-2007, 10:32 PM

that sucks. Right now I have axle cs, nuckles and cvds in the mail. I have lockers in already. With the hardened gears, some punisher shafts and aluminum cases I might have some bomb proof axles lmao.

So you would need 5mm Bearings as well eh?

cembom · 07-24-2007, 10:49 PM

I think so. I think thats what size the tlt uses. I think I was in another wk thread that the T-maxx uses 5mm shafts where emaxx and wks use 6mm. So you could probably just pick up shafts and bearings for the tmaxx tranney.

lonewolf039 · 07-25-2007, 06:05 PM

You don't have to change the pinion bearings as they are already 5x11. The stock WK pinion shaft steps up from 5mm to 6mm. See pic here, http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXPZX2&P=7

cembom · 07-25-2007, 08:43 PM

Okay I forgot about that. Thanks for not letting me tell him to get the wrong stuff lol.

No, I'm not too thrilled with the loss of gear reduction you get with it.

Yes I am running them on one of my wk's and they have been working great.

I don't know what your taking about with gear reduction, they are both 38/13

3:1 is pretty good

I run R2's so gear reduction isn't something I think about a lot...but the RS4 hardened gears are the same as stock

BJoe · 07-27-2007, 12:02 AM

I thought the tooth count was different, maybe I'm wrong......

TBItoy · 07-27-2007, 07:56 AM

you are. stock is also 38/13.

btw BJoe, in your sig, do you mean politicians? if so, funny! if not, wth is a polition?

MetalMan · 07-27-2007, 12:01 PM

At the LHS I work at, another guy who has a WK found a hardened MT2 ring/pinion set that has a lower gear ratio. It was something like 14 or 15t pinion and 36t ring.

WHo made those and can you find out what the part # was? I haven't had any luck finding them. That gearing would actually make the truck FASTER rather than slower. I want those gears!

That's not lower gear, that's higher gearing.

38/13 = 2.92
36/14 = 2.57
36/15 = 2.4

Was I wrong? I do believe 2.57:1 or 2.4:1 is lower than 2.92:1? I said gear ratio, but you're right, it is higher gearing.
