| How to convert Ascender trans to a Two Speed
Here is the list of parts required to convert your Ascender transmission to a 2 Speed and a link to the instruction manual below. Note that you will need a "Mini" servo to operate the shifting, at least a 3 channel receiver and a transmitter with a 3rd channel/button with "2 position switch" Parts needed: VTR332009 Transmission Metal Gear Set: Twin Hammers OR VTR332000 Transmission Molded Gear Set: Twin Hammers VTR232008 High- & Low-Speed Gear Set: Twin Hammers (Top shaft gears) VTR232009 Transmission Shift Fork & Shaft: Twin Hammers VTR232007 Transmission Shift Linkage Set: Twin Hammers (the picture is old on our site, the current parts should have a spring and 2 piece arm that acts as a servo saver) VTR232017 Transmission Shaft Set: Twin Hammers (sorry guy, you only need the small aluminum spacer and we only offer it in this set) VTR237003 4mm x 8mm x 3mm Ball Bearing x 1 (You'll need 2 bearings) VTR237004 5mm x 10mm x 4mm Ball Bearing x 2 (you'll need 4 bearings) VTR236131 E-Clip 3mm x 1 (You'll need 2 e clips) VTR236013 M2.5 Nylock Nut x 1 (You'll need 1 Nut) VTR235108 M3 x 12mm Button Head Screw x 1 (You'll need 2 screws) LOSA6356 5&6mm Shim set 5x7x.02mm shim x 1 This is the only way we sell the shims by themselves. Link to Twin Hammers Kit Instruction manual You will use the following steps: A-2 thru A-6 (Disregard the outer standoff mount in A-6) A-12 and A-13 One tip is to make sure the shifting shaft that slides in and out of the transmission case has a smooth finish to it. For the most part, our production parts have a smooth finish but I've seen some with a slightly rougher texture and this can cause the shaft to stick in the transmission case, making it harder to shift. I always polish it to make sure it's smooth. Rich Last edited by Rich Trujillo; 08-31-2015 at 04:40 PM. |

As far as I can tell you also need 4 5x10x4 bearings for the extra gears on the lower shaft, 2 4x8 bearings for the extra gear on the middle shaft, and maybe a couple e-clips for the shift fork.

Would an entire twin hammers transmission contain all these parts? I have a spare sitting on the shelf.

| Re: How to convert Ascender trans to a Two Speed A standard servo will not fit but I have seen others modifying it to work. Check the Twin Hammers forum and you should be able to find the info you need.

Will these parts be offered in a kit any time soon? Mainly thinking about new drivers/builders possibly getting into their first kit and not so savvy with cross referencing parts from other trucks.

Bah, this needs to be put together as a kit. Or, just offered straight up in the kit. I love my 2-speed in my TF2, and someday, hope to love it in my Ascender.....

Interesting. I have a mini Futaba S3016 in my Twin Hammers (same two speed) and didn't have any issues setting the EPA's. Its still kicking even without a servo saver. Does your radio have a 2 position 3rd channel, or 3 position? Whats a rough idea of the cost of all the parts required to do the 2 speed conversion, minus the servo? |

Is the shift fork supposed to come with c-clips or do those come separate as well? I was all excited as I finally had all the parts this thread said I needed, but the shift fork bag only had the rod and fork in it.... no c-clips. Where can I get those? Or what size are they? There is also no vtr236013 m2.5 nut for the shifter in the parts listed.

| Re: How to convert Ascender trans to a Two Speed Yup, just got done doing the same. :( Had to tear apart a perfectly good Slash shock for the e-clips. Where did you get a m2.5 nut for the shift rod?
