OK - it's my understanding that the product D 2.5 kit attempts to use a smaller input pinion on our regular size diffs. This alone is going to lead to obvious meshing complications as the gearboxes themselves simply aren't designed for this configuration.

Theory aside for one moment - no wonder you're finding it difficult to get the mesh right.

Regards hope for your Yok - course there's hope - go back to the original drive pinion and the problem will go away!

How many Yok SD drivers at the worlds were using the Product D 2.5 ratio kit.......?

Hope you get your car sorted soon.

I have gone back to the original gears and I am still having th esame problem. Used every shim setup I can think of.
Thanks though,

Well, as the gears are new you will have to check the teeth for any trace of flashing that may be left over from the moulding process. Use a sharp knife/scalpel to remove any surplus material. Also bear in mind that diff gear (crown) it's a good idea to replace the drive pinion at the same time.

The gears also need to bed-in and only when this has been done will you attain total silky smoothness.

Maybe a long shot, but have you checked your input shafts? They can sometmes bend in a bad crash.

Try checking the the spacer amount on the input shafts, they are the spacers in between the input gear and the bearing.

probably a dumb question that with some reasearch i could find the anwser to but hey im at work and this will bump the thread back up

whats differnt between the cgm and the ssg chassis, somewhere i saw a tub style and every other one i see is the two deck carbon fiber style. which one is which?
which ones do you guys like better for which aplications?

im about to get a bonus check and what a new touring car and not a losi or an AE, its gonna be a yoke or an hpi probably

CGM = Tub

SSG = Double Deck

This Thread is titled Yokomo MR-4TC SD
So it is the SD that we are talking about here but the CGM gets a couple of blurbs every now and again. Basically the car is the same except the chassis. The SD SSG is Carbon fiber and the CGM is Grafite. I personally like the Rayspeed upgrade to the standard ssg chassis but that is my preference. The SSG is a real nice racer. My friend races his CGm and he is fast with it also so what it comes down to is do you like Carbon or Grafite?
There is your answer.
Hope this helps

There are slight variations but the car is the same minus the Chassis.

beat me to it,

I think the best combo is Yoke SD CGM converted to Rayspeed chassis.
You get lightweight chassis and all of the graphite parts.

so you buy the car for 270, then spend another 150 on the rayspeed conversion?

ritchie

well i guess you could if you want, just buy cgm and get a few rayspeed goodies.
