thanks dan,very informative post,apart from the aftermarket brass gear i fabricated the whole thing myself but im a very amateur machinist so this was the easiest/least parts design for me to attempt.as im just a very occasional basher and not a serious racer im hoping this will hold up okay for me,...

wow exactly a year since i started this thread and finally got round to sort of finishing it mainly due to my other project/thread.bit of a theme developing here still not perfect and needs a bit of refining but functioning tho it seems to have loosend itself off. not sure if i will have to put a ki...

finally got this done,fitted to my project with rere scorpion arms functions ok will have to redo various bits but allright for a prototyp/work in progress,i can theoretically run this in a mid engine config but current shock setup preventing me atmo .

bit more progress today got the motor plate made up and whole thing bolted together spins up freely but not 100% on mesh yet it maybe too loose,thought it seemed heavy so weighed it ,77 grams compared to aprox 170 grammes for std box and incomplete gears with no bolts

thanks 1300gt the mesh seems ok i will have to get it bolted up and make a motor plate before i really know,this is just a prototype atmo. i think i may just chuck it on my existing kyosho trailing arm chassis for now,cant see myself getting or paying for a set of mip trailing arms anytime soon. wit...

finally got the bearings i ordered off the back of 1300gt's build inspired by his front gearbox build i started this IMAG0246s.jpg got to go out tommorow to get some tube to make spacers so i can run it up and see what it sounds like. not sure which way to go with it yet thinking of making an extens...

my bad thought it looked the same as mine which i thought was a 103 will have to dig it out and check

dont know where youre based but tonys tamiya parts (ebay uk based)has some f103 bits if thats what this is

thanks for the informative and compehensive answer when i get a chance i will have a go at an srb box,from the quality of your work ide assumed you had a machine shop,even more impressed now

hi rob,welcome

awesome build,i think my build was based on the same magazine article you mention in your rear gearbox mods post tho youve taken it to a whole new level. how did you fit the bearings in the front gearbox,are they shouldered? not about to try a four wheel drive myself but ide like to have a go at bui...

ok thanks again,not a lot on so ill just take a punt

thanks scr8, is there somewhere appropriate to ask about value ?

as title really i bought this a year or so ago on a whim i think it was listed as an l but the ones ive seen look narrower on the front end.tbh i mainly need to know as im going to sell it soon and dont want to list it wrong, is there somewhere its appropriate to aks about value also?

got my unflanged bearings fitted and jobs a goodun, so its now sat on modern wheels will post some pics when ive sorted a body,thanks again chaps!
