well a few have asked how to build the 3 piece gear dive for the old style trans for the sherman here are some pics of the parts involved
the first 2 pics are of the bearing floater i made to hold the bearing and the outdrives in place on the tamtoy gear box the side with the bearing replaces the original bearing in the TT gear box on the side the out drive fits on
the next 2 pics show the adapter pressed into the pershing out drive
next you make 2 72 mm cross bars and thread each end 3mm so you can srew the 2 out drives together using the holes allready in the outdrives
pics 5 6 show the 2 out drive bolted together awaiting the next step
more to come
in continuing with the gear box here is another i just finished you can see the 1/4 inch thick mount for the motorsand gear box the outdrives mounted then the outdrive cross bare bolted to the base plate to keep it all square and rigide
