Monster Beetle Blackfoot Gearbox
Jeep-Power replied to berman's topic in Monster Trucks, 4x4, Wheelie Rigs and Crawlers
I know what you mean. Fortunately, with the diff locked together, it takes most of that 'pushing-out' force away. The bevel gears are not trying to push themselves away from the spider gears. I tore into mine last night-- it wasn't the differential gears. It seems I never upgraded the counter gears' bushings-- they were worn to heeel and thus allowed the smaller intermediate gear to eat itself & diff gear. Luckily I had a bunch of Wild One / Fast Attack gears in the parts bin. These gears are a little 'taller' (48 teeth vs. 47 on the Blackfoot diff gear), but that's ok-- I can use a little more top speed-- The new set is epoxied together & ready for install. -
SO how did it hold-up?

Sweet- I spooled (epoxied the diff together) my Blackfoot years ago, but I think the new addition of the 35T motor & 2C LiPo has caused one of the bevel gears to break loose-- (it pulls wheelies *hard* from a stand-still) I was worried that I'd have to dig for parts, but I'm pretty sure this will do the trick. Thanks for posting that link!!!
