Really big fan of LEM parts . I have all of their Summit parts except the Bec box. I have had no issues yet with any of their parts. Can't wait to see what they come up with next.

So you like the dog carrier that is in the transmission? I found that it doesn't shift into hi gear all the way. Am I doing something wrong or it it ment to do that?

 

[malonefamily2003]

I feel it makes a world of difference . I no longer get that annoying roll back when crawling with the LEM dog carrier. I can still shift into hi gear on the fly. I noticed it fit kinda snug on the shaft and was worried it would cause problems shifting but it didnt. It should still shift into hi just like stock. There's a small grub screw on the bottom of the trans that applies pressure to the shift rod. You may need to loosen it a little. How does it do when shifting it by hand .Once you shift it you may need to spin the input shaft to seat the dog carrier into the gear. Hope this helps if not let me know .

I forgot about the grub screw. I wonder if it is the problem. I'll loosen it and see it it was hanging it up. Thanks

Tried the grub screw. that wasn't it. I have 3 of these and the 2 that I have installed will not let it shift into high gear. something is wrong and I'm not getting it.

 

[malonefamily2003]

Try opening the tranny and see how easily the dog carrier slides on the shaft. If it slides easily then something else is wrong. There's a lot of bearings and spacers in the tranny you may not have gotten them back in right.

 

[twissted]

It moves free and always has. It doesn't move in high gear enough to lock in.

 

[malonefamily2003]

Have you tried looking at the exploded view of the tranny on Traxxas site to make sure you put everything back together right?

 

[twissted]

I need to. when I pulled them apart all I did was pull the dogcarrier but I must have done somthing wrong.

 

[twissted]

Well I took it apart and checked the exploded view and everything was in place. I put it back together and now it works as it should. I don't get it but I'm glad it works!
Now I have to pull the one on my custom build and do the same thing and hope I get the same result.

 

[malonefamily2003]

Good to hear hope the next one works out as well.

 

[malonefamily2003]

Got a few short runs in today . LEM axle are holding up just fine but I had a few other issues. One of the small e-clips on the front drive shaft fell off allowing the cross pin to slide out until it started eating into the aluminum chassis. Then ten minutes later the pinion gear came loose ending the day since I didn't bring any tools . I tried to give the axles some abuse but the rest of OVERKILL wasn't allowing that.

That dog carrier works like a charm. Did you get both tranny's working? Subbed
