backtomyroots 432 Posted February 17, 2018 Is there an aftermarket manufacturer that builds a single speed transmission that drops in with little modifications for the line of Tamiya Tractor Trailers/Semi Trucks ? I have no use for the 3 speed included with the kits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leinad2 6 Posted February 18, 2018 Servonaut offers a single speed transmission and a mount that fits the original position. https://www.servonaut.de/shop/de/product_info.php?info=p258_getriebemotor-gm32u390.html https://www.servonaut.de/shop/de/product_info.php?info=p111_motorhalter-uat2.html I use a lesu transmission with a printed mount in my MAN. https://up.picr.de/31045757ph.jpg?rand=1518959399 https://up.picr.de/31045769wf.jpg?rand=1518959399 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I forgot about that option, I am looking to simplify the build, the transmission is too much work to build for a single speed On 2018-02-18 at 8:11 AM, leinad2 said: Servonaut offers a single speed transmission and a mount that fits the original position. https://www.servonaut.de/shop/de/product_info.php?info=p258_getriebemotor-gm32u390.html https://www.servonaut.de/shop/de/product_info.php?info=p111_motorhalter-uat2.html I use a lesu transmission with a printed mount in my MAN. https://up.picr.de/31045757ph.jpg?rand=1518959399 https://up.picr.de/31045769wf.jpg?rand=1518959399 I looked at the two links you provided, I'm not sure exactly what is included with each link ? Looks to me like the motor is basically the transmission replacement ? Mine will be for a Globe Liner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leinad2 6 Posted February 20, 2018 In the first link you have the motor with a planetery gear which replaces the original motor and 3 speed transmission. In the second link you have the mount for the motor which fits the mounting points of the 3 speed transmission and a cup joint for the drive shaft. I think for the Globe Liner you would need Motorhalter UAT1. I haven't used the unit myself but all the users in the german truck forums are quite happy with it and recommend it.

Great information, thanks. I'm assuming the stock driveshaft will work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leinad2 6 Posted February 26, 2018 As far as I know the stock driveshaft works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
