Idler Gears

Quote

Post by Tubs » Sat Feb 13, 2010 3:46 am

Does anyone have any pointers on upgrading the idler gears? I need to take my buggy apart to clean it. I wanna upgrade the gears while the vehicle is apart. I have disassembled vehicles before but I have never opened up the transmission before.

Thanks
Justin

check to see what colour idler gears you have, black ones were an upgrade so thats what your chasing.
also there is many a thread on here how to build a six gear transmission. someone will link to the best ones im sure.
any pics?

I've always got the problem of the idler gears worn off too fast. Currently, TH do not have stock for them. As such, I thought of making them into aluminium alloy.
Would you guys go with stainless steel, steel or alloy?
Also, how many of you guys...

So I got a few sets of these from RW Racing. They Came with absolutely no instructions or the additional parts needed to run them. From the looks, They will require a bearing that is flanged and an addition Snap ring thats fits inside. I tried...

Hey Guys,
I dug out my RC10 from storage and have been in the process of bringing it back. Besides it missing the wheels the trans is pretty noisy. The idlers are stripped out. This is an original first production run RC10 with no stamp on the...

De burring the gears involves grinding away at the edges to remove the lumps on the edges. It's outlined in the Jay Halsey transmission guide.

Check the tooth profile on the aluminum top shaft, if it's worn it will keep eating your idlers.

Hello all, i've just got to the part to fit the idler gear screws and there's no allen key in the kit that will fit, could someone tell me the size please so i can get one.

thanks in advance Jonathan.

Last post

I snipped off about an inch of the L-shaped key and used it in a small drill pin vice; it made it MUCH easier to get the screws in straight.
