tamiya.mad 0 Posted April 18, 2012 Hi Guys Can anybody help me please, I have just purchased my first blazer finally!!! My question is: The front wheels only turn in First Gear, they do not turn in 2nd or 3rd gear, the seller assured me this was normal and correct, is this the case please. Do Blazers only operate in 4wd in first gear? Thanks for reading and any help would be much appreciated. Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmatt13 6 Posted April 18, 2012 Do Blazers only operate in 4wd in first gear? As long as I know it, this is correct. There´s a mod, that you can use the 4WD in all gears, but I´m not into it. You have to change gears and some other parts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JYCM3 236 Posted April 19, 2012 and the front wheel hubs you can pull and turn it so it can free wheeling like the real 1:1 and to lock again pull and turn the other way and release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tamiya.mad 0 Posted May 2, 2012 Ben Throw some pics up! Lets see what you got! OSR Yes i will do that as soon as i can, not sure how yet, I have already stripped out the radio gear which works intermittently but i think its the switch, will try to post some pics over the weekend, to be honest i'm delighted with the car but it does need a few bits here and there including drivers head and left arm, battery compartment lid which is damaged, roof spoiler and roof sides, original decals and a pair of brand new tyres and finally ALOT OF ELBOW GREASE. my workshop should be finished in a couple of weeks so i should be starting the restoration soon. Thanks for the interest Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
