hi madmunkey
is there a problem with the gearbox
or are you just wanting to change it just incase

Ian78

That's it, it's over complicated. If you use some chemical metal and fill one side then push together, seal the diff.
You will notice better traction, you will also not have to worry about the diff going wrong.

madmunky

There was a problem with it only wanting to go backwards but since I took it apart and put it back together it now seems ok so I will get some chemical metal and next time it goes seal the box

Is there any good worth while upgrades for this to make it faster etc...

dust75

hi madmunkey
has the car had the upgrades on bearings ?
ian is the best one to ask about speed
so over to you ian

Ian78

Sorry lads, haven't been on.
I have various mods, as dus says, do you have proper metal bearings everywhere?
That includes all wheels and inside the gearbox.

Speed, well we have got 2 Bycmos that we modified a fair bit,

These bits included a Tamiya electric speed controller and an Ansmann racing 18 turn motor.
They went pretty damn quick madmunkey.
Choosing the right tyres and fitting foam inserts are a must.

I will look through to find pics of our cars or will take some new pics.

Ian78

We use 4600mah batteries , you need the other cogs for much better gearing and top speed .

hi ian
you forgot to say about the 12mm hex hubs

Ian78

This is very true dus, to fit conventional wheels you will need a 12mm hex hub conversion.
This took me a while to do because I didn't realise how easy it was.

dus advised doing it, I never at the time reaslied it was just four bits of plastic and thought you needed to drill the hub to fit bigger pins.



At the moment your wheels are only 10mm hex.

hi ian
fond memories
i remember how long it took me to get you to take the plunge
and convert your cars lol

Ian78

Yeah, so true.

Madmunkey, have you got any good shells or just the Subaru one?

madmunky

Just the Subaru one, though I would like to get a Evo 6 one as I have the real thing so would be nice to have a mini version

Will any 1/10 shell fit?

Ian78

My mate had an Evo 6, good cars, he spent a fortune on it.

You can fit the 190mm shells or the 200mm shells .
Have you got the hydraulic shocks and the red uprated springs?

dust75

hi madmunkey
yeah as ian said you can fit both the 190mm and the 200mm
the bycmo car is a 190mm
the 200mm bodyshell will have a wide stance to it
you just need to make sure that when drilling and fitting
that the car sits in the middle of the shell and has 5mm on the left and 5mm on the right
or your car will look funny (not in a good way)

dust75

hi madmunkey
here are some photos i took for ian to show the 12mm hex hubs
and some shells as you can see the 200mm shells have a wide overhang

Ian78

Yo dus, that's it.

Will dig out some pics too.

dust75

hi ian
yes do so
i cant find the photo i did for you
with the 2 hex hubs the bycmo ones and the 12mm hex

Ian78

I know the pic you mean with the 2 hubs together.

Ian78

Uploaded most of the pics using the site uploader.
This is a Bycmo witha 200mm shell.

dust75

Ian78

hope all is ok your end and you have had a good weekend with the hot weather

Ian78

Very sorry to hear this, how old is the cat? do you think it was someone who did this on purpose to keep cats away?

We have got 2 cats and I can imagine you are all upset.
Will you get another cat for your Daughter?

Weather has been good although been working on real cars all weekend not exactly enjoying the weather.

Will be barbecues soon
