Re: 3D Printed Stainless Steel Outdrives
2.25 is the original stealth in the buggy, dual sport and 10t. The b2/b3/T3 are a 2.40, and most others (gt/T2/modern) are a 2.60. The outdrives are all specific to the ratio and in the 2.60 also come metric and standard

Re: 3D Printed Stainless Steel Outdrives
So could I run B6 outdrives on my T2? I think running lightened outdrives would look pretty cool.

Re: 3D Printed Stainless Steel Outdrives
B6 is metric, t2 is imperial… but they share a ratio

Re: 3D Printed Stainless Steel Outdrives
So, what could I use to get a larger set in a re-re and/or a B3? Mecause they're shorter than they really should be to prevent dogbone ends from popping out during hard moves/jumps.

Re: 3D Printed Stainless Steel Outdrives
You would have to make them. Typically you would shim a cvd or universal, but with a dogbone you are stuck with washers and springs to do the job. Remember a longer outdrive might engage the bone more but will also limit travel more too. Most problems come down to way too much droop or improperly shimmed axles.

We fixed droop to spec but I'll have to look up shimming the axles.GoMachV wrote: ↑Sat Aug 07, 2021 1:49 pm You would have to make them.

Re: 3D Printed Stainless Steel Outdrives
Also the rerelease cva’s that came with the worlds car are shorter than they should be, this is a known issue and I think the easiest but worst solution is using the blue wheel washer on the inside instead of in its intended position. This will force the cva in further but at the loss of a stabilized wheel. AE just really dropped the ball. If you are using dogbones or earlier cvd’s this is not a problem.
