Man I'm a SPAZ!!


« Topic Start: February 28, 2008, 08:50:48 AM »

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?

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 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.

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