what will be included and how much? is it on your site?

[RC-Monster Mike]

It is around $60 and includes the front cover, coupler and instructions. I have the e-maxx internal gears and bearings for those wanting to build the tranny from scratch (I know there are a few folks with this in mind).

cool, looks awesome. I may just order one with my new 9918:mad: im in the process of selling my bike so i can afford my new 9918, when did you say you expect to have them? I am going to replace the input shaft because mine wobbles a little.

[RC-Monster Mike]

Hopefully next week.

I seen it on Mike's truck, BMF I must say!

Must have in my opinion.

what if you don't cut the input shaft perfectly straight? I mean dremels are notorious for uneven cuts, and if the cut is slanted...what will happen?

[RC-Monster Mike]

I have built three of these so far. I cut the shaft with a hacksaw and remove the burr with a dremel. Unless you are Stevie Wonder, it is not hard to make it work(no offense to Stevie Wonder:)). If the end isn't perfectly straight, it doesn't matter as long as it doesn't rub on the inside of the tranny case. The cut part of the shaft is inside a bearing.

He can't be Stevie Wonder, Stevie is working here in Holland at our carwash...

[RC-Monster Mike]

Nah, He's in Vegas, well he was the other night with Nelly, Lenny Kravitz and Cindy Crawford.....Yeah Baby, Yeah!

Hmmm.. This is one way for my Maxx to lose some weight.

Might have to think about it.. tho I need the cover in purple..hehe..

Hello,

This looks great, only one Question/problem. I've got a Brushless E running a 9L on 14 cells. I've tried it in both 1st and in 2nd. When I was in 2nd it was way too fast. I only race w/my Maxx and balistic speed doesn't (always) equal wins at the track. In any case I've got some nice, happy gearing in 1st, I make time no trouble and the truck is plenty fast. Why is there no model for 1st gear? and then if there is only going to be one in second, what gearing are you guys who race running to make time and not thermal?

Thanks,

Welcome to the forum!

drop a few teeth on the pinion. that's the solution!

The reason it is done with the 2nd gear is simple;
The goal was to loose weight, and when it's locked in 1st, you are not able to drop one halve of the transmission, or you need to make a special upper driveshaft, or modify the topshaft.
