nl12 - I made the 2 speed pinion. I cut off the bell on a 2 speed clutch bell and used the screew on 20T and 16T gears. This one http://www.hobbypeople.net/gallery/149797.asp Then I made an aluminum insert with the set screw and 5mm shaft hole that press fit into the place where the bearings go in in the clutch bell and JB welded it into place. I was actually using it in my XLB 2 speed setup so I had it already. I will make another one when I get a chance. I'm using this one for fitting everything up and to get it up and running until I can get around to making another one.

Mallanaga - No I'm not converting it to a buggy, just converting it to electric from nitro. I'm planning to use it for parking lot oval racing.

ZPB - What? A 1950 isnt big enough for you?

Dagger - I agree. I looked at the Kyosho GT and the Ofna GTP but they both looked like rather cheaply built buggies with shorter shocks and shock towers. I like the lay down shock configuration like some of the 1/10 touring cars. It looks like it was more specifically designed for on road than just a modified buggy setup.

I can't decide if its more fun to make it... or break it... Silent...But Deadly Last edited by jhautz; 10.22.2007 at 08:24 PM.
