Beagle rear gearbox v optima

Quote

Post by threesheds » Sat Sep 19, 2020 10:01 am

Anyone else had a problem with friction in the rear gearbox. Seems the pinion driving the differential/chain gear is too wide for the gearbox especially when the frames encasing the gearbox are tightened. I've filed a bit off the pinion which has relieved some friction with the inside of the gearbox.

I stumbled across a front and rear gearbox housing at the LHS, so I decided to snag them for comparisons sake

Both look to be completely compatible, they are shaped a bit different but close enough that they will interlock into each other. The...

On my beagles they make the plastic look pretty good. Its got a texture, like the fiber reinforced plastic. I actually thought it was frp. Not sure that it isnt. LHS is clearing out pactra paints, so I should have a genuine beagle body shell done up...

As some of you may have seen I found 2 MRP pro 110's at a garage sale around the corner from my house. Also in the tub was this car. At first I had no idea what it was. After calling a friend, he let me know it was called The Beagle and that is was...

Hi, I'm not too big on Kyosho's, actually I've never owned one. But this one seams like a good deal. What car is it and should I grab it.

The drive washers use friction alone from the wheel nut and should stay tight after the first tightening - make sure the tapers match.

If you can't find a Beagle manual, just find/use an online Optima manual as things are so close on most things...

Well I'm psyched. I've been wanting a Kyosho Optima since I've gotten back into RC over the last few years. I had a bunch of cars and what not in storage but a long time ago I had sold my Kyosho Turbo Optima that I used to race so I could buy my...

The rear gearbox outdrives (PG-35) seem to be impossible to find so i wonder could any other Kyosho buggy outdrives fit?

Last post

There´s a chance original Scorpion outdrives would be the same. I Haven´t checked yet.

Once I'm finished with the Barney Optima, I'm going to build a custom RWD car using Optima chassis parts. I know many people did this back in the day, but I have a few questions nonetheless.

-I have several Optima rear gearboxes and a couple...

I've had a closer look at this project and assembling the entire Optima rear end onto a chassis plate with the end gearbox section removed will be easy enough. The front end, with attachment of the sideplates & steering & control arms will be a bit...

I finally found a great off-brand upgrade for the stock Javelin/Optima/Turbo Optima rear arms. This mod is so cheap it's laughable, and will upgrade your rear control arms, dog-bones, and give you a slightly wider stance all at once.

First, you...

Last post

I don't think the wheelbase (front axle to rear axle) is changed much with this mod; if anything only a few millimeters. The track (left wheel to right wheel total width) is only increased by 10mm approximately, with a particular set of wheels.

Anyone know of a way to mount a wing to the back of an OG style Optima?

Last post

Here's a picture of the academy wing mounts mounted to the stock tower. I only used one screw and reamed the hole for the stabilizer.
