Help with my 2 speed Please!

[CALIC]

Hi, av bought this 2speed from ebay recentley for my Fg baja but its missing 1front Gear. the gear size for the back is 20t and 44t and front is 18t.

What size gear do i need so it fits the front 18t.

Thank You.

Thats the picture of the gear.

It needs a 46 tooth to match the 18t pinion

and you'll need the rubber inserts that fit into the 46 spur gear .. sorry i don't have parts numbers for you .. contact SB Racing in the Uk .. he'll get you sorted ..

rubber inserts are 6051
What's it going on, if you're running monster tires you'll want 48/16 for 1st gear.
I'm currently running 48/16 44/20 on my baja with baja wheels...46/18 works good too but for bigger tires might be a bit slow off the line

I use 46/44 and a 50tooth gear on the diff housing. Even the 46 looks well close to the suspension arms so a 48 must be nigh on touching?

I am not sure which is the best to use now the 46 or the 48???? i did buy new metal upper arms for the gear if that helps?

 

[Ducky]

Well as you already have the 18T you might as well just grab a 46 and see what you think, before changing both out

Good move buying alloy upper arms, they are a must have or you'll munch spurs constantly.
The 48t comes pretty close to the upper arm and to the chassis at the bottom too but it just fits.

Try looking up some companies close to you that deal in bearings.
Ebay has one user in the UK selling bearings. Could try asking them: http://cgi.ebay.com/FG-HARM-RS-5-LA...hash=item260325804856&_trksid=p3286.m63.l1177

I've noticed these bearings are thinner then the layshaft bearing (I tried to use one of them instead) lol. Might be worth popping an e-mail to a few FG suppliers to see if they have a part number.

Sure it's not this one....?

I would step up from the FG bearings. Make sure they are not the metal sleeve ones. I've had some issue in all models with the metal sleeve ones. There is more of a chance stuff can get in the bearing with the metal sleeve bearings.:no:

I'm using the plastic shield bearings where I can, but some are only available with the metal shields.

 

[cyclops1970]

the higher quality bearing have higher ABEC ratings .. the higher the number the better the bearing ..
contact this supplier in the UK http://www.bearing-supplies.co.uk/page3.html

 

[mooman007uk]

here's the 2 speed manual with all part numbers. hobbythek will have any part you need in stock.

 

[Ducky]

7462, yup that is the bearing I put a link to.

 

[CALIC]

R u sure these r the right bearings? as they r diffrent size of what RIPMAX told me which r stated

 

[Ducky]

Does that look like the bearing you're after in the exploded diagram, would trust those part numbers over anything.

 

[mooman007uk]

I know that's the right one cos i had to order one myself and there are only 2 bearings the needle one way and 7462.
