Anyone know who makes cut gears? I know RC Speed Secrets does, but I already spoke with Art and unfortunately, he can't do what I'm looking for. I just messaged Chris Bush, so we'll see what he has to say. Anyone else cutting gears incase he can't do what I'm looking for?

I want to put together a 4 gear trans for our B6D, since we run on a hard packed, but fairly bumpy track that can get dusty in spots, especially turns.

Does anyone know if the 3 gear motor plate will work backwards on the 4 gear case? I have to order the parts and wondering if anything I already have might work.

Looking at the pics of the 2 pieces they look different to me !


Q: What parts do I need to add a 4 gear transmission to my B6D?
A:*Thanks to 190mph for the list* You will need the following parts:

91707 Standup 4 gear gearbox cases
91714 Standup 4 gear motor plate
91711 Standup 4 gear dust cover
91717 Idler gears 26T
91132 Idler Shafts
91560 Pack of 5x10x4 FT Bearings

Also there is a specific Factory Team Spotlight page on 4 Gear setup for Outdoors tracks typically:

I just bought my b6 and basically have it together but I have a few issues and questions.

1) Is it just me or is the bottom motor mount screw hard to get at with a normal hex driver?
2) At full steering the steering linkage hits the top plate on one side. I tried to fiddle with the spacing of the servo to no avail.
3) Does anyone run their sensor wire under the battery and if so is it okay for the wire to be near the motor without it melting?
4) I eyed up my rear turnbuckle when building the kit and it is sitting at 24mm and the camber is still way to positive. The manual calls for 28mm but I'm guessing it will have to be shortened to like 21-22mm. Seems pretty far off. The manual did say to originally install the ball studs on the outer most hole on the mount but later on in the manual showed it in the middle. Axle height is set to stock with +3 axle height. Not a huge biggie but still odd.

Other than that stuff the kit went together great and looking to run it for the first time.

I grind away a little of the rail so I can get a regular hex driver in there

Your Servo Horn is likely too tall

Its fine to run it that way

Same observation here, 28MM is not correct. I noticed that too among other issues with the manual. Make them the length they need to be.

Is there some secret way to bleeding the shocks on these kits? If I follow the manual to a T, I end up with negative rebound (shaft sucks in) and lots of air still in the shocks.. All 4 shocks end up exactly the same..

Matt Trimmings 10-25-2017 03:12 PM

There is no way to have no air in the shocks...as long as all 4 are the same you’re fine.

For #2, if Scott's advice did not work then I think your steering rack is installed backwards. Look at it and see how it offsets one way / the same way on each side, flip it around and your clearance issues should be solved.
