Some info on A&L Lethal Weapon

[Daryl Lane]

Was reading through an old post thought I would share some info.

Lethal Weapon was the first tranny - the one with all the 3/32" ball's in the diff.

Lethal Weapon 2 was the second generation Diff. The tranny, case, Gears, bearings and belt the same, the diff halves were changed to work with 5x8mm and one 5x10mm sealed bearings getting rid of all those little balls.

keyboard acting up, will add more later.

Thanks! Glad I was told about it! "scr8p"

Got my key board issue worked out (wireless receiver fell off the desk top ) so I'll add the Power Clutch info:

Only realy made one power clutch - just reamed the holes in the two halfs two ways.

1) metric - 5mm shaft and the gear side for 8mm o.d. breaing (Fit: A&L Lethal Weapon & MIP RC10 Tranny; Just added a shaft to the ones for Traxxs).

2) Standard size - 3/16" shaft and 5/16" for the bearing in the gear side of the PC. (Losi XX and JRX Trannies the added shaft supplied).

People have taken both and fit to other cars, I've seen the Lethal Weapon PC on Yokomo's three we built and some on Mids and Lazers. The only work is to get an input shaft to mount them on.

glad ya joined.

it worked out pretty good too. lately there's been quite a few questions about the LW trans, so who better to give some answers on it.

[Mr. ED]

I got my slipper clutch coming in a trade soon.
Which axle would be the larger one: metric or standard size?

I think the 5mm (size of the top axle on mine) is larger, so there should be no problem; reaming the clutch in the worst case, right?

Welcome Darryl
