Two speed?

Alright a new thread :celebrate:

I believe if it's an FG they go for just over $200.. The pinion gears are alloy and the spurs are plastic. Cool little transmission, I had one on my FG Baja and it was fast for on-road, kinda annoying for off-roads bashing though. Never really bash were there's a long enough stretch to get it to shift appropriately.

What car is it for?

BTW: How do you like my new Avatar? A preview of things to come!!:clap:

I'd always look on ebay uk for fg parts, Simon was a great source and a few others, they buy whole cars cheap and part them out...I actuall y made more money when i parted my baja on some parts than i paid for them selling in N. America....in the UK there are tens of thousands of FG's in N. America there is probably a 10th or less of UK numbers....

my mum still lives in UK so uk only sellers would ship to her addy which was handy.

as for the 2 speed...great buy...for my fgbaja off road i'd run 16/48 and 20/44....fast as f@*k
 
VooDoo...Well you may luck out ...and the 1 you bought is not worn out....
The 2 spd I bought needed all new bearings & gears..oneway bearing & claw....
Only placeI could get parts was over sea's..being e-bay uk or hobby-tech......
Hope you got a good one......Slawhammer
 
I don't know how the fg 2 speed holds up in dirt but most 2 speeds out sucked in dirt on smaller scales unless in a sealed case. the one ways get dirty. I love it for on road. I love how it free rolls off throttle. no drag so it breaks loose less in tight turns.

ebay uk rocks for getting parts. simon has sold me quite a few items as well. just got a few items from him again. the guy I got the chassis from had very reasonable shipping though. and I get stuff faster from the uk than usa go figure.
 
More and more alloy!

As said previous men my half alloy marder came today.The bloke selling it said it had a hard front ender and he wasnt kidding!:ohmy: The chassis is bent so is the alloy radio tray,the rear bulkhead is slightly bent with a screw bust in the hole,the alloy sevo saver has snapped screws too:o .and it has a crack in the shell but apart from that its ok:mellow:
At the end of the day I only bought it to break it and at least double my money but in retrospect looking at all the shiny parts I'm thinking of.....hmmmm.....keeping it.....NO JAMES!!!!....get it gone :devil2:.
Well i'm i the throws of ripping it apart with a set of allen keys, screw drivers and a set of bolt cutters!:blush: I'll post some more pics of the stripping in progress and see what you fellas think.

Good find James,
The motor alone would be a nice backup piece for your arsenal. You could save those arms for another project too... Is the chassis cracked or just bent? From the picture it looks like it is cracked because it is turned so much...

Well chaps my two speed came today.Have not as yet tried it but everything seems to be in order,I'll keep you informed of the progress.
