koya: I think they dont use the shim that was specified in the manual for the one way or was it removed the shim? Just dont follow the manual. Its somewhere in the pages, just look for it.

Shimming 1-ways
Use both shims befor the large bearings on the outdrives. The manual specifies only to use 1 shim on 1 side...as a result we have experienced stripped ring/crown gears. Shim both and you won't have any stripping problems

Are you guys making your own spool or does someone make one for the SD already?
Ran my car for the first time yesturday and it was damn good with diffs in. In the main I ran times like I did with my XXX-S with a spool in. The Yoke was very smooth and had great acceleration. Car is all stock but I want to get the spool or make my own and get some of the Tobee stuff I have been reading about.
johnbull I think I made the right choice. The car is very fast and with only a few changes was very easy to drive. I could run 5 laps at a time all with in a tenth of each other. If I had no traffic I could run as many laps as I wanted from start to finish all with in a tneth or two of each other. It is very consistant at my local inddor asphalt track. Also was easy to work on as well. Electronics fit tight and took me some time to wire it nice and neat but I got it done.

wyd,
I agree the sd is very consistent lap by lap...feels and looks slow driving it but times are very good.
Johnbull, I know i have asked you about the tc3 shaft mod before but what i did not ask was what type of adhesive you used to glue the ends with and roughly how much shaft did you cut? thanks in advance

Hi Guys,
About the one-way gears and the gears on the SD in general, I spoke with Yokomo USA tech support about stripping gears, and they suggest that when you build a new SD or replace the gears run the gears tight (with the suggested amount of shims) let the gears break in for several runs (perferably not high power modified motors) Once the gears have broken in, then you can play with the shims and loosen up the drivetrain.
Gear stripping problem sometimes occurs when guys start to play with the shims when the gears are still new, and the gears ending up not breaking in properly.
I recently read a Japanese magazine article, which had a 6 page explaination on how to build the SD by Yokomo's driver Adachi, and before running the car, he suggest using a low power source (he was using a Yokomo MMS) to power a motor on the car at low voltage to break in the drivetrain before running.
Hope that helped

Speedtech I just placed an order today for you on Monday. Do you have any locked spools for the SD or are guys just making their own? Does Yoke make a spool yet and if so do you have them?
Thanks
Brian

randman,
I'll order those for your friend.
wyd,
thank you for the order. I don't know of anyone that makes a spool for the SD, all the yoke drivers I know just make their own with sand paper diff rings.
