please. anyone? i cannot take my gearbox apart and i need to fit new gears in. i have read the forums but it doesnt show how to actually take it apart. do you need to undo the grubscrew? help!

Redcat Nick

yes you need to loosen the grub screw and remove the breaks and drive cup. then there are 2 screws holding the sides of the tranny together. remove them and you should be good to go.

Does anyone know where you can buy a full gearbox?

Macanan

From what everyone swears by is to put a single speed tranny in it

That is what your looking for is the tranny and not the gear box right ?

So if i buy a single speed gearbox, what would i have to do to the clutch? keep it as it is, or what? . thanks - Will

Macanan

need to get a 13 tooth clutch bell you can get both the clutch bell and single speed tranny for about 30.00 dollers

ehroof

what vehicle are you talking about?

willashcroft

The Tornado BB (but it is actually a HSP Atomic Warhead, which is the same.)

How About going direct drive? Pro's? Con's?

ehroof

i converted 2 of my tornado's to the single speed, i like it, less to deal with and better for off road.

willashcroft

I have found a choice of clutch bells, ranging from 13t to 15t. which would be the best one for bashing/ off roading?

ehroof

15t for the tornado, 13 may be to low geared

willashcroft

nice one, i dont know, i just need some options if i dont want to fly round, just maybe go off roading and bashing. =]
