Gear Box
I have a Tornado XL I think the differential big gear(part#02029) is bad because the front right side wheel turns intermittently. Does the part# 02051 gear box have any parts inside or is it just a shell? I would like to replace it as one unit if possible.

RE: Gear Box
02051 is just the plastic housing. It doesn't come with any gears.
Are you sure that gear is what you need? I'd def. recommend takeing it apart and looking at it before you start ordering some parts.
If it's just your right tire that's spinning intermittantly it may be your planetary gears getting jammed up or something like that. It may just be something as simple as regreasing and adding gear oil.

RE: Gear Box
To replace the entire thing you'd need the following parts:
I think that comes with the planetary gears.... I'm not sure. If not you'll also have to buy those.

RE: Gear Box
To be honest with ya I just picked up some car gear oil from advanced auto parts for about 3 bucks. I don't know if the r/c cars use something different but my gears are in great shape so the stuff is working well. I also noticed when I changed out the oil that the little plantery box was missing a lot. It was only about a quarter full so I made sure to top it off.
You'll also need some grease for the inside of the differential box where the big steel gear and the pinion mesh. Again, advanced auto parts to the rescue. Picked up a little tub of grease and slathered it all over the gears.
The picture is of what I used.
