New Taigen V2 Ball Bearing Steel Gearboxes! In stock and ready to go!
Hey tankers!
So we all have been waiting on these for way too long.... so without further adieu I present the new V2 ball bearing CNC machined steel gearboxes! These new gearboxes will have better shimming, our new upgraded black motors (10-15% more torque vs the grey motors), and of course bearings in all reduction shafts and the final drive shaft. They are offered in short and long shafts and in both M/L and H/L mounts, assuring your tank will be covered Introductory prices are set at $69.99 for the set. Here are the available options:

TAG14000S- High/Low, 3:1, 48mm shaft
TAG14001L- High/Low, 3:1, 58mm shaft
TAG14005S- Middle/Low, 3:1, 48mm shaft
TAG14006L- Middle/Low, 3:1, 58mm shaft
TAG14010S- High/Low, 4:1, 48mm shaft
TAG14011L- High/Low, 4:1, 58mm shaft
If you have a question on what gearbox your tank needs please feel free to ask, I have most all memorized and the ones I dont I have a sheet for right beside me Each gearbox will have the tanks it fits listed on our website as well. Please be advised that some tanks can use either M/L or H/L and both 3:1 and 4:1 versions, so some gearboxes may overlap. The L/L dual ratio gearboxes will be coming later in the year, I believe I may have finally found a motor I am happy with Please enjoy guys! http://www.imex-model.com/category/9...lease%20Select

You can put me down for at least one 10S. Just in time to get them in the Tammy compatible Imex Full Metal IR Tiger for the battle on the 11th. Now if the Impact unit gets here in time I'll be kickin' butt and takin' names. The best part will be watching my Imex do in all those Tamiyas.
So what other goodies were in that container?

Thats nice but, they still have the pressed steel side plates. I would like to see a better built box myself. Now, the bearings certainly help but you can still get deflection in the TU with the thin metal plates.

I have a few here available if you need, but not enough to put online atm. If you need a set you can PM/email/call me and I'll set you up with a set

The main issue was that the quality of the bends on the plates was very poor at times and they where not square which caused problems with gear mesh and shaft wear. I think that as long as the angles are correct and in the right location they should be fine but i would like to see them a little thicker just to add more rigidity to the entire structure.

Yes, you will need the Middle/Low, 3:1, 48mm shaft gearboxes. They are TAG14005S and can be found here: http://www.imex-model.com/product/TA...29.html?cid=90

I've purchased two sets now. One for my Torro KT and a 4 shaft set for my Taigen Sherman (thanks pedzola) and they do make a big difference in drivability. The KT also sports an IBU2.

Oh yea, it make a huge difference. The slow speed is where you can really see it.

Here is a short video with the V-2 4 shaft gear boxes. It can really creep now.
Sorry for the poor video. Trying to drive a record at the same time.

That is much better. I have said this all along. A better gear ratio makes all the difference in the world to these things. Way easier on the electronics as well. They should come with these.
