Just my opinion, but that 1:1 t-case is killing the overall gearing that you need to push this heavy vehicle around. It over strains the motor, which is why you smoked yours, plus the tiny bearings that support the idle gear inside of the t-case will fail, it's just a matter of time. I went through 2 of these cases while I was building my Jerp. |

When this one fails I'll be getting the GCM 1:1 transfer case. This TC has served me very well for several years with ZERO issues.

Major progress today. I took her out for a neighborhood run, it was roughly 45 minutes and 1.5 miles, with a max speed of 6.5 mph and an average speed if 2.5 mph. Checking the temps several times, the max was 122 on the motor and 120 on the esc, that was before the MIP uni lock screw let loose. After I realize that I only had rear wheel drive, I checked the temps and the motor was 145 and the esc was 142. Not to shabby for rear wd only. I do have replacement parts and will get her all fixed up soon. |

Forgot to mention this, the battery started out at 12.5v and ended at 11.8v, also the rig ran with the same motor I smoked the other day. So, I call that a major success. Once I get the MIP and the motor repaired, she sould be up to par.

That's great! I'm happy it's working out for you. I can't wait to see it up here at the oxbow! When you change the transfer case maybe consider the RC4WD disrupter, I think it has a ratio of 2.18 (or close to that) it works well in my willie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks Lou, but I'm partial to the 1:1 cases. I'm currently looking for the GCM TC. They are hard to find but well worth the money. I've had the same one in my JK for several years with zero issues. To me, that makes a huge statement worthy of my $$.00 Last edited by stelerzman; 06-14-2015 at 08:54 PM. |

| Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" I found one. Ordered it directly from GCM. It's the only place I could find it. Wohoo. |

Everything came in, except what I needed the most. MIP drive shaft. The parts that failed last week were very worn and unusable. The shaft was rounded. Hopefully Monday. Ilyk. |

| Re: AWIP, 1/6 Willy's Jeep. "Special Ops" I'm sure we all have. It's still frustrating. Yep, everything else is in and installed. I talked to my mail carrier and he is looking into the situation. He asked the cover driver and is trying to track it down. I may have it by the time I get home. |

Looks like it's a loss. Still no luck from my mail carrier, he can't seem to find the pkg. I have contacted the seller and a replacement is on the way. |

At least the seller is taking care of you, even though I know that it sucks waiting for one small part. |
