so what i did was buy new gears lol then bought 2 bearing rod ends from a bearing place near me i took the clutch bell to a engineers and paid them to drill and tap and die a thread in the end of the clutch bell.

then just put it all together as in pic ^^^^ and perfection i can rag my car allover not thinking are the gears stripped yet lol

if this helps anyone please let me know i like to help

thx alot for reading my post take care all and have fun

p.s these cars are well woth there money with this mod even if bought new i have had no other problems with it other than gears stripping my m8 is gutted :)
 
£5 for the clutch bell and £10 for the rod ends £0 for my time :) so no lol i do not class the gears as i would have to buy them anyway :)
 
really well just as good as any 2.4 both my m8 have the best spectrum transmitters mine responds just as good only thing difference it they have more functions but imo i do not need all them functions as it does what you need it to do and its only £64 on ebay shipped to your door awsome and cheap 10 times better than 27mhz transmitters hope this helped
 
i have noticed that the rod ends i use get hot quick so im going to try and get bearing rod ends so they will not heat up

Ah good, I have been using 40Mhz FM and never had a problem but I have just bought a 2.4Ghz with five recivers for my cars,save carrying two trannies around,its not the top of the range but its 2.4 and thats all I need.
Good luck with the mod.

looks like a good idea, does it hit any bodywork with it sticking out.
Whats with the rear wheels on the wrong direction lol, they look like mutilator wheels.
