RCM and MHZ Z Drives
I already have a RCMZ drive and im looking for another RCM Z drive if anyone has one.I have cash waiting.
I have been offered an MHZ Z drive that looks exactly the same as my RCM but are they internally?
Is the RCM Geared up 16%????
With thanks

That would be great rcguy!!! What loctite are you using to glue the shafts into place?
I think I might buy the MHz on and put it on the back with my rmck one. Give them both a lick of paint!
Cheers guys

RE: RCM and MHZ Z Drives
Well, they have only one and is defective, so goodbye arrowshark
About mhz Usa,be careful, do not buy from them, Shirley told me that Mhz Usa does not work anymore, more than a year, they are not able to delivery MHZ parts anymore, if you want them you will have to take it in Germany, but no problem, they ship worldwide.
Regards
