Need help rebuilding my 2 speed transmission
I was wondering if anyone can help me put together my 2 speed tranny for my tornado bb; i took it apart and i am not sure exactly how to put it together.
Possibly if someone could post some pics i would much appreciate it

Do you still have your manual that came with the car? It should have a diagram showing how it goes back together.

Did you check Ali's video on Metacafe ondisassembly and reassembly of the 2 speed tranny? It might be a different vehicle but I bet it's close to the same.

either the allen wrench or the top of the grub screw is stripping; do you know of a good brand of rc tools that do not strip ?

Redcat sells some that has removable allens and if you strip it you can just replace it. But all my tools are from automotive stores. Duralast makes some nice stuff as far as allen wrenches and screw drivers go.

i bought a big yellow set, it has just about every alen wrench you need. just go to a autoparts store and pick up a set of metric allen wrenches
