| h/s gears
I did a stupid thing,i ordered the high speed gears through the new zealand kyoshi distributer in january,they said a couple of weeks. never turned up ,rung them,still coming,and so on. Finaly in march one set turns up,thats 1 end ,1worm drive and pinion?,so im half way there! The other "set" wont be here for another 3 weeks!,yeah right. why send only half a set when you need 2,can i use half the HS gears? Dam kyosho,stupid truck,i wish id got the ax10 now ,i hate this thing,anybody want a cheep suckforce! |

| Nope. Too great of a difference. I ordered through Stormer and figured $30 has to be for two. Box shows up, and there's only one in there. I called up Stormer and mentioned to the fella that he might want to change the website description to include that $30 is only one axle. They changed it: https://www.ssl-stormerhobbies.com/c...s&pn=KYORFW002 |

Guess what ,the nz agent found another "set" of h/s gears from a shop!,hooray!. Kool i get to pull the axles apart ,use a 45t or 55t and get some torque at last,and not smoke anymore motors,.. Broomstick,the dig also needs what joot said above, the grunty servo, fuel tube over the supplied springs,some good grease on the dig ,and nice and clean on the slide part on the outside of the cases., |
