I noticed that my rear gear box had broken mounts for the top links that connect to the chassis. I epoxied them for a quick fix but after having already broken the lower shock mount on one and now the upper link mount I think it might be time to get an aluminum gear box. I was looking at this one on ebay and it seems to incorporate the link mounts with the shock mounts rather than using the two pieces like the stock gear box. Do you guys think this will work with the rest of the stock plastic parts like the motor clip and the gear cover?
It looks like Nic already bought one. Anybody else have one like it?

I can let you know when I get it, I've seen a couple guys onthe forums have them so they seem to work.

[Russ]

It looks like it will work fine. I'm just worried about the mounting locations for the links being the right measurements.

have you checked the feedback for that item withthe seller maybe that would give some kind of indication cause I don't thank chad or brian are running this part.  But I would think everyone will sooner than later with all the jumps and plastic cracking, I know mine will. But I didn't name my race team Mental racing for nothing lol

I know that Luke is running a alloy gear box,  I just can't remember if it's the front, back or Both.

I posted up on MZR. I'm sure someone knows exactly if it will work or not. If I order one does anybody else want one? Also there is some Kyosho OL oil shocks on ebay. They are supposed to be the best. $17 each set is not a bad deal. I'm thinking about those also.

I am going to try some black GPMs first, I was going for the 3R but didn't like the fact that I had to cut my body to fit them....though it is a bit haggared so it might not make a diff.

If I order one does anybody else want one?

where are you ordering them from?  what is the cost?

[Russ]

Ebay. Same place Nic got his. They are $15 with shipping. I think they take off $2 for combined shipping.

[Nic-z]

if you email them and ask, they had the front as well a week back but never relisted it for the same price I would go in on that with you if you are interested.

[Russ]

I'll search on ebay for it. Do you by chance have a link?

[Nic-z]

Thats a rear gear box. The same one I'm talking about. I thought you wanted a front gear box.

[Nic-z]

right a front one, they already sold it but haven't relisted one yet, their main site shows them out of stock for it.

[briankstan]

Russ if you do a order,  will you get me one?   We can settle up at the next race if that's OK.
