just ordered a complete set on ebay for $6.59... I'll have spare gears if I ever need em I guess.

[soniccj5]

You will need them trust me.

I am not sure about that. My current gears are on their 3rd motor.

I have been using them since 1992, they have never been replaced.

In fact this is the first time I have had the tranny apart.

[soniccj5]

Wow!! I can not count how many gears I went through bitd. Still good to have a spare set though.

spare parts are never a bad thing.. true

I am curious. what do you all recommend for lube for tranny (in and out)

Also, what about the felt dust seals? What do I replace those with? Mine were worthless and fell apart pulling them out.

[JHarris]

Run the inside dry and use Associated lube on the diffballs in the spur gear. Replace the felt seals with bearings.

[campbuds]

dry inside? wow!

I thought you would do something in there, but ok.

where the felt goes... is that the "outdrive"?

[campbuds]

oh, can I replace the bushing in the rear hub with a bearing? That bushing is kinda long

[SnoopMaxx]

You can replace the bushing with 4 1/4 x 3/8 Ceramic Flanged bearings

It takes 4 to replace the two?

It takes 4 to replace the two?

yes, four. 2 for the outside, and 2 for the inside.

[JHarris]

Check the care package I sent. There should be 4 in there (I hope!)

[jwscab]

yep, everything that everyone has said is good to rebuild stock.

Or, you could add the 3/8" x 5/8" outdrive bearings, and do this mod to get rid of the extra inner bearings.

So, I got the care package yesterday. I will be using the bearings I got for the rear axles.

Here is what I got and what I need. Progress is slow but worth it. I am looking forward to getting it back on the road!

This is what I have have thus far courtesy of JHarris


This is what bearings I need to replace


I need a bearing to fill the gap here? This is where the felt seal was.


According to this I need two bearings here... I see the mod, don't want to bother. Seems to me I need more bearings than we mentioned earlier in this thread (I could be mistaken)

[campbuds]

anywhere else I can get a good deal on bearings? avidrc.com is out of stock on the most needed bearing 3/16x5/16 flanged.
