Thanks and respect for making this video; well done. I have repaired and installed many of these transmissions. From my experience I would like to mention they are not always the same. Depending on the production batch the main internal drive-shafts can vary slightly in size and dimensions. Thus you might need more or less shimming on either side or even none at all. So unfortunatey it is not "one solution fits all".
Thanks for the info! I fitted 4 of these already and I think my first one did not need shims. That's the reason I use 0.1mm shims to play with increments of needed shimming. I should have mentionned it in a clearer manner on that video. Thanx again and happy RCing.
I'm working on putting together a FCX24 Crawler. I'm planning on 4WS, 2 BRUSHLESS ESCs (running it with a NB4+ transmitter, going to try to put second ESC on separate channel. I'm trying have the transmissions run REGULAR gears on high, and the FRONT run REGULAR gears on the low low, but for the REAR I want to underdrive the low 20-25%. So I guess my question is, have you ever underdriven JUST the low side of the FCX24 transmission? What gears do i need and which ones? Have you done a video like this, or know of one (for the transmission) ??? TIA😊
I don't get exactly what you are after. Why 2 esc ? Are you planning to run 2 transmissions coupled together to have an extra low range (since you put a S at the end of transmissions) ? You also mentioned to under-drive one side of the transmission, but it's a tight fit in the casing believe me. Usually we under-drive/overdrive the portals or the spools (ring and pinion in the axles)
@borduratsRCtips I realize that what I'm wanting to do is TOTAL impractical I hav3 b3en inspired by Robby Layton and his 4x4 limousine. I'm planning on a 1/24 limousine. Due to the length of the vehicle is why I'm running 2 transmissions, & 2 esc'. I also am considering going a bit further and making it a 4ws. So in high gear, I want the availability of 'speed'. Then when I go to rock crawling and shift to low gear, I want to underdrive the rear end. In this manner in 'trail' mode I won't be dragging the rear end at "high speed". The radio I'll be using is the NB4+. TIA
@@WY-DaveZ71 With all metal trans, bigger motor ( or brushless) you should have plenty of power. As for 4ws, the stock v5 tx can achieve that (check my other video) As for the extra extra long wb, you could couple 2 long metal drive shaft with a bearing union in the middle (pretty much like output shaft of a transmission but without all the rest of the gears).
Thank you. I was having issues when I put the FMS metal gear set in my K10. Turns out it needed a few shims to take up the play in it.
Glad it could help.
