Bl Cen matrix build

It will not, the bearin race on the genisis spur gear is made for a 10mm ID bearing- i tried.
Just about any 8th scale spur gear will work on it with minor mods.

check out these links. From what I see the bearings are the same part number used on the front/rear and center diff of the genesis as well as the matrix center diff. That bearing is part number g73914 which is 8x16x5 in size.

also note that the back plate part number gs060 found on the matrix center diff is the same as the plate used on the front/rear diff of the genesis, which uses the same housing as the center diff.

I think its time for an update. Purchased and received a secondhand Kyosho Motor mount. I the bearing holes line up fine but the upper post was .08'' too tall. a hacksaw and grinder fixed this.(avoids me buying Kyosho CD mounts). Also purchased my R1 body from jhautz- one of a dying breed- That should be here monday or tuesday. And Just now I placed a rather large order from Amain...
Wheels, tires, batts, center CVD's, Screw kit, Shock oil, and some other odds and ends.
Today I also rebuilt the entire front end with a Gene Hickerson Suspension setup

Thanks, cant wait to get this thing together. this week is going to go by soo slow.

[brushlessboy16]

bit of a downer here.. For the last 2 weeks i have been talking about racing and getting my truck together... My mother ordered my stuff from amain for me- and I tell her "i need to have the stuff by thurday at the latest, get USPS priority.." She gets UPS ground because it was the cheapest(even tho i was paying) so my parts wont be here till monday... there goes opening day. wooptie doo. :(
