RE: using a toro gearbox
Hey drewcrew6,, Sure you can take it for a spin... But you need a pilots licence. The baby is going to literly fly... It will run in the low 6s @ 206 mph+
As for the gear box... I did purchase a few of them to check out. A friend and I had planed on building a few types of 1/4 scale cars to sell. And though these toro gear boxes may be a cheap alternative rear end!! But with little to no market on 1/4 scale & the recession we desided not to.
As for them Van-K wheels... That what i have on the Beretta at the moment.... There a good quality & light aluminum wheel..The pic below is the ones i purchased.. http://www.cometkartsales.com/store/wheels/vank2.htm

That is a sweet ride , Let me drive it?????
How did the Toro gears hold up for you if you ran them. I am afraid the gearbox itself is to weak but the gears, well the jury is still out on that. So far my truck still moves.

RE: using a toro gearbox
QS Wow UM okay put a passenger seat in it and take me for a run, That would be safer for me and the car !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like they are all 5" wheels do they have them in 4". Do you know if they make a "snow hog" tire in the 4 or 5" rim and outside about 10" ,width whatever.

Unfortunately they were discontinued many years ago. So the Answer is NO to all yor Inqueries. I plan on using a 8" tire for my build. Research in the answer to all your questions. Never rely on somebody else to do your own work for you.

RE: using a toro gearbox
I'm gonna try and keep this as civil as possible so the admin's don't lock this thread...
But this is just getting ridiculous....[sm=spinnyeyes.gif]
[&:]
Let me get this straight, "Guru"
When no one asks you a question you post a statement like "If you leave milk out of the fridge it will go off"
Then you come along and show a picture of a rim without any info.
After someone else has posted the details on that rim you all of a sudden come back and tell us it's not available any more.
Ok, last time I looked this was a message board where people help eachother and give advice.
Research doesn't mean that you sit alone and Google things.
It also includes other people sharing their knowledge and experiences with things.
You have nothing to add to any conversation, and I doubt you even have your own RC car.
Please take your nonsense elsewhere because no one here is impressed with your endless drivel.

RE: using a toro gearbox
Lets get the facts straight.!!!!
I gave the info on my wheels. Fact: they are discontinued van-k 4"
not 5" wheels as shown by QS
The tire options are not avaiable for rims DC6 was looking for. That's sharing information.
Ihave added valuabe information to the conversation that you can't accept.
All facts and no BS.
No nonsence her just the facts.
Im not impressed by U anymore.

You plan on using an 8" tire for your build have you started it or is it just an idea?
Show us what you got going in rc cars since it sounds like you have 1 homebuilt and are planning another.
Guru: ( PS DC6:I just found 4" split van-k aluminum wheels tubeless and they work great. 1 lb. lighter each than yours. )
What have you used them on and how much do my rims weigh?

RE: using a toro gearbox
DC6... Iv'e been trying to find the time to look for them tires for you and have came accross a link that may be of some help..
Scrool down near the bottom of the page and you will see the snow hogs.... http://www.gokartsupply.com/tires.htm
As for the rims i don't know of any 4'' aluminum rims that may work for you.... The 5'' rims are going to be history here in a year or soo.... All shifter karts require the 6'' rims now..

RE: using a toro gearbox
Thanks Qs I did find those. They are on ebay as well. So what do you think about throwing apassenger seat in that monster Berretta? LOL
The other tire that Icannot find is the "Super Lug Tire" just above the "snow hogs" in the 4.10x3.50-4. The "snow hogs" would be good in snow and ice as well as grass that is not quite
dry. The " super lugs" i would think would be great in very loose dirt and loose snow.

RE: using a toro gearbox
DC6... I know your just joking about putting a passenger seat in the Beretta.... It's also against IHRA regulations.... Not to mention all my electronics are located there... I'll be running a new supercharger engine next season with a Direct port Nitrous system and the bottle will be located there as well...
How about i take a few on board videos for yaa.... Sound cool?????

RE: using a toro gearbox
EXCUSE ME!!!! I only saw 6' and 8"at most places. That place was the only one that had 4' must be a limited supply. I wouldn't pay $30 for tires for a home build.

He ran a 762 BB / split brasswell's carbs / split pan / 3 stage fogger system / glide trans / 91/2'' full floater sheet metal rear end... The car has went 4.20s 1/8 mile & 6.60s 1/4 mile....
My set-up will consist of...JanCen 526 aries solid block, PSI 14-71 High Helix Blower, Mark Williams 4.10 Pro/Mod thirdmember, 9.5 ring & pinion Same sheet metal housing. Bruno/Lenco 10'' triple clutch 3,4,5 speed
I will run at a few tracks around here... I used to run a funnycar a few years ago and got out it for a while... My buddies talked me back into drag racing again.... Gee... What are friends for..... What can i say... The need for speed is in my blood... lol.lol.
