just take the clips off the shafts and the gears will pull off the shafts ...... if your ordering parts i would bet the alloy gear carier as well as the steel gears that should fix it for good..

yeah they are tight on the shafts yes a puller will do the job the main prob with the gears is the center set of gears go slopy in the gearings on the center shaft and go the mesh gos all out of wack and end up striping gears ....
mine are still ok at the moment becouse i have put the rings on my carrier seems to have worked

do you have slop in your center gear set shaft???

Yes, I have the MCD manual that you speak of. The way I look at it, it gives you the stock set up that MCD recommends. I was experimenting with the set up to see how close I could get the 510mm or the 535mm wheelbases used on the MCD’S. I am trying to get close to either one, because I am turning the FS into a rally car and I want to use one of the MCD bodies. I personally think the Peugeot body (the last picture) would look great on the FS. The below pictures shows my current set up which is around 515mm wheel base. If you look at the second picture you will notice the shock fork has a small washer installed to help eliminate the fork and the drive shaft from rubbing. I use this same suspension set up on my MCD, it seems to work the best for me, and I do not need the washer on the MCD (once again this helps illustrated the fit and finish I was referring to in my earlier post). Since we are on the suspension arms, I have a recommendation. The FS uses pins with e-clips on the upper arms I feel this allows for a little slop in the arm. The MCD uses a bolt set up. I will be changing the FS set up and using a bolt with nut instead. I feel this will enable me to tighten up on the suspension arm and thus eliminating the slight movement that now exists. As for the wheel movement I didn’t seem to have any problems with either of the setups I used. I hope I answered your question.



Hi Pwaicon,

I am converting my FS to Subaru Rally shell and 6 spoke wheels. Did you use the MCD drive cups for the front and rear hubs for the wheels to fit properly? as the FS axles stick out alot further than then the MCD ones would!

Cheers

Yikes... You just get the actual gears for that price?
I'll wait for FS racing to get it. I'll NEVER deal with Eddie again.

Dude, you have a bad memory...
I waited for 2 months for my FS MT. Then, he promised some spare parts because of the fiasco. Never got them.
Also, my gas tank cap has never fit. Sent a note about that, and of course, no reply.

Looks as if metal gears are in short supply then.I will send out a couple of emails or buy some stock ones for the time being

Why do you think the middle set of gears seem to get all the play in them???
Thanks
