Black Night: 2 questions

A: Did the Turnbuckle Tool and Height Gauge tool part of the Tamiya tool set?

B: The part (red circle) that holds the Stabilizers, Is that an option? what's the part number?

Anyone got a starting ratio for running a Reedy spec 19T in my EvoIII on rubber tyres?

I don't think the Ride Height Gauge and Turnbuckle tool comes with it.

Default Re: Front diff cure!

Here is the solution that does work to keep from damaging any more gears... I removed the screws that hold the gear to the diff housing and Using a spacer from my yokomo one way (blue aluminum 2-3 mm thick spacer that holds the pulley in place on the yok oneway with four screw holes in it). I removed enough material to slide the spacer onto the shaft sandwiching the diff gear in the housing. I then used some longer screws and put the assembly back together. The gear runs true and is free of any flex. And has survived a race night. A thought I had to make this an easier fix would be to use one of the stripped gears back to back instead of the spacer. Either way I think you will be happy with the results.
Good Luck!


I think this is what he means....

Is the idea with the spacer that the screws will not over-tighten and cause the bevel gear to warp?

I put a new bevel gear in last night and I paid extra attention to how much force I was applying to the gear. Everything spins freely so far, but I guess I won't know until it sees the track again tomorrow.

Futureal - That is part of the reason and it also gives even pressure around the gear. This concept is like the spur gear holder!

Hi simulatedwood,

Your method is exactly the one I mentioned b4 about the options part from tech racing. Using it there is not need to remove the material in the gear!

well,


i looked at the posts from earilier today, and when i got home from school, tried to make my own ring for one-way screws to tighten onto out some spare carbon fiber, but i messed it up slightly, and it's enough to make me not want to run it.

so... does anybody have the aprt number for the yokomo ring, or the other one (i think tach racing...)

Another question, guys:

I am trying to build a ball diff for the front of my Evo 3 so that I can run foams with it. I haven't been able to locate the outdrives for the car. I show them as part #50992 (or TAM50992 in Great Planes-speak). I am also looking for extra bevel gears, which I show as #50987.

Anybody know where I could get them through?

Thanks!
