48 pitch conv on ol 6 gear tranny

Post by OldSkoolRC »

Howdy
Looking for a diagram or instruction for the 48 pitch gear internal conversion for the old six gear. I think MIP made it but I could be mistaken. Trying to breath life back into an old friend. Thanks

Build it the same as you would a stock 6 gear. The only difference is the gear pitch.

I have the complete thorp 48p setup and the outdrive bearing mod (with inner bearing removal from outdrives) in my red pan/American flag rc10 build. There are faqs on it in the temple tech section if you search.

You can also use robinson racing spur gears as well I believe

If that is the case Mine must have had some hop-ups that I forget adding since there is a series of washers and an actual bearing on the diff shaft in between the two top gears internally. That is where I think I goofed the order.
