Ultramaxxed Gears? - 04.01.2007, 08:03 PM

I bought an ultramaxxed tranny used off of ebay a little more than a year ago. The seller said he had it for a couple years and never had any issues, and I have never had any issues in the time I had it. When I first got it I opened it up to look at the gears, they were covered in thick grease and everything looked OK. I never questioned if they were real or not, but with all of the fakes showing up lately I'm just wondering how to tell if they are real or not. And if they are real what gen are they? I'm thinking that if they must be the gen 1 gears. I think the gen 2 and 3 gears had gold colored idler gears. These are kinda black colored.

So how can I tell if they are real or not? Ive been using it for the last 6 months or so in my revo, but since I switched to a center diff setup I'm not using it anymore and I'm thinking about selling this tranny on ebay, but don't want to list it as ultramaxx if its not real. I don't want to be one of those people. Anyone know how I can tell? I think they are authentic, but how can I tell for sure?

Heres a picture. I just tore the tranny down for the first time since I got it and was going to clean it up and regrease them before listing it. Still a little grease residue on them but should give you an idea of what they look like.

Any help here is apreciated.



I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
