If you do decide to go steel spur : Do not use KM/Rovan or the solid hub DDMs steel spurs with Vertigo pinions! ... You will almost get instant shavings . Now get this, If you can hunt some down get the 3 spoke alum hub steel spurs made by Integy! yes that's right! They play very well with Vertigo...Who would of thought. The rollout profile of the teeth on the integy match almost perfect with the vertigo and roll smooth as glass

LOL...I guess they finally stumbled across something that works ,I will check it out!....:giggle:
 
everyone get's bitten by Integy ! But no joke those 3 spoke steels run super with the vertigo pinions. the rest of their stuff is pretty off ...JUNK.
 
PART # BAJ222BLUE they changed the spoke look but same nice profile. do not wait long ,they go fast
what mm shaft do you have in your vertigo hex output ? the old 7mm or updated 8mm

This is exactly what gets you in trouble, its lose but it's fine ?. Yes your gear plate may make it feel like it takes the slop out. But realistically the slop is transferred somewhere else or creating stress on all those bearings making them wear much fast AND you guessed it creating heat.

It is slightly loose. But the shaft carrier makes up for it and it stays nice and solid. And my last transmission (Rovan) was the same without issues.. So I don't think it will be an issue.

btw, its like .5mm of play, can barely feel it. deadass the rovan had like 2mm of play at the layshaft and i didnt have any issues.
 
K I removed the outerwear and washed the redneck and re oiled it, hopefully you fekers won't have a heart attack like last time ? side note: when I took the redneck off and checked out the actual filter, it was perfectly clean (like brand new!) And didn't need to be cleaned at all so I left it alone. The redneck was dirty as fek tho. IMG_20200902_170006.jpg
And I ditched the outerwear all together.

Is that a Rovan fuel tank?.... :unsure:

? what a dik ? I said nothing of the sort ???

Only because it came off Frankie. And that tank came with it 3 years ago so ? off

I asked about the tank because you don't have a fancy gas cap on it ,the DDM's don't really fit the Rovan threads on them!
 
Z.hb71 said:
Didn't know that. Probably not going to bother with a fancy cap, don't really care how that looks ?

I have an old one from DDM ,I did not buy it from them ,it came from a batch of parts that I won on auction years ago ,
it doesn't quite fit the threads but it does tighten down by force ,I was just curious why you didnt have a different fuel
cap yet in which it made me believe that your tank was indeed a Rovan brand!..:cool:

Ive wanted to get one , but every time I go to ddm I have to get something else and end up spending all my money ? plus the stock works just fine so I don't see the need for myself ?
