Yeah, well I messed up the chassis a bit, but the tip about using a de-bonder worked well - guy at my shop advised acetone to remove it. Did the job :-) Apparently in water above 80 degrees C the glue becomes elastic like and can then be removed. He didn't advise this approach, as he didn't know whether the carbon deck would hold up to this!
A pic below shows how I've taken over the dining room table to build my Surikarn
Excuse the Serpent box on the table Cheers, Mark

Enjoy your life with TB Evo III SE. Just make sure you have enough spare front 1 way gear.

The front one way gear hold the spur gear. The spur gear stop the bearing movment.

Hmm, what is it that breaks? Is it the gear (the cog) or the whole unit? Build day two

I ran my evo3 today with og one and had no problems what so ever with the gears, I hit thinkgs or people hit me and still nothing wrong with the gears at all>Think I got a good batch Rod the setup was really fast the only thinkg was the yellow spring felt to soft?

Also, since you have the OG Evo3, you might look into getting the carbon fiber backing plate for the front one way gear. I don't have the part number on me but it will "help" support the front gear in some cases.
