Yea, not sure I will go to 3 gear yet. Need track time since I've been away for an extended time on what I already run.

$150 that is crazy !

Honestly im not sure why Associated just did make the transmission where you can add all three motor layouts makes it easier.

you mean like the durango, that no one wants to own, lol

Nothing wrong with that buggy at all the V2 model . Im just saying that Associated should of done that just to make it easier.

I would MUCH rather pay for 3 different individual gearboxes (RM3g, MM4g, MM3g) than run the durango setup.

Is the rear motor car's stock setup intended for square/saddle packs or a shorty?

i did it that way first...but i didn't like how short the wires were. it made it harder to pull the plugs out. but i may go back to this later. it was much cleaner looking with the short wires. and i am big on making it look nice as well as being functional. i spend a great deal of time and thought on wiring. usually i shorten all the wires to length and cripm new servo pins on with new servo plugs. this time i just shrink wrapped the excess esc wires. i need to move the servo wire under the battery though.

Ah, was looking for it on amain and couldn't find it. Found it on mip's website.

so all i need for the three gear is the case, motor plate, and gear cover? everything else swaps from the four gear correct?

You'll need the top shaft too.

HYPERformance06

the top shaft is the same as the b5m shaft. just v2. its compatible with both car. i ordered the aluminum top shaft a month ago and put it in my b5m. it has the reduced collar for lower weight. i see the 3 gears uses different sized bearings for the top shaft the i.d. for the shaft is the same
four gear bearing - 6 x 12 x 4
three gear bearing - 5 x 10 x 4
also diff shims are needed.

just need a list of parts needed to swap four gear parts into the three gear. and what extra i need. so i can place my order.

You'll fit up to a 34, maybe even a 35. You may need to use button head motor screws for anything above a 33.

I have a 72/34 in mine. It is very close to the screws. so close, that I am glad trinity pinions are tapered. With a 69, I would say you can get a 35 in the car. I am using flay head screws with countersunk washers

What is wrong with the Durango setup i see nothing wrong with it . The V2 is not the same as the V1 model of the buggy its easier to get to the transmission. Why would you want to pay extra just to make it a 3 gear mid motor doesn't make sense to me.

I know some of you guys with the Associated and Losis love to put that car down i say the B5 feel and drive like a tank.

Whatever im out.
