Status: offline 		I already have a RCM Z 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

Jack

Status: offline 		 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
Jack

Status: offline 		The MHZ drive should have a square input and so not need loctite. The RCM drive use Loctite 648 retaining compound for the flex cable/input gear.

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.
