Alternative to ball nut 22029 (TD4/TD2)

Recommended Posts

Hi there, Is there no alternative to the alu ball nut  even from another manufacturer? I can't find it in EU shipped at good price.

Thanks.

I thought about trying a small nylock nut

 

Yes, it's not very easy because it lacks the space to insert the wrench but I solved it by notching the head of the nut and inserting two small washers after the spring. Then I was able to hold it in place with a screwdriver.

I found out that the ball diff used on the TD2 and TD4 chassis ( available as spare 22025  WITH the alu ball nut) can also be used on the M07 and M08 chassis instead of the gear differential. So the opposite may be true....

This is what I have on my M07, I'm going to try to use it....

It's an M3 nut; you can wedge a nyloc M3 nut in the plastic diff nut housing that the Durga uses (D parts I think...look it up in the TD4 thread)

XV01 gear diff is a direct swap.

Sure. Point is you can cobble something approximate to the alu nut from a stock nut and a cheapy plastic part that Tamiya already make.
