rc10gt 2 speed??

[markallen]

I bet everyone would like to know.We are close to converting another GT2 to 2 speed.

 

[rckid91]

so u gonna hook us up with some info or just sit here and brag about it

 

[markallen]

So you want me to tell you everything I did to install the 2 speed?

 

[rckid91]

NOOOOO, We've just been asking for no damn reason........lol.

PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[markallen]

Give me your email addy and I'll send you all the information about it.

 

[Cupooterluvr]

Why can't you just post it on here? It would be easier and take less time, plus people wouldn't have to post their emails anywhere. If it's a long story, and you found the info on some other site, then just link it.

 

[markallen]

All the work I done wasn't found an any other website.I have done alot of custom machining and fitting to get it to work and it would take a long time to write a post explaining all the details.

Here's another video running an OS TZ .18 in my 2 speed GT2.I can't run it full throttle.

That's pretty slick man. Have you considered making a couple dozen conversions and selling them. I bet they'd go like hotcakes on Ebay, as long as the cost was reasonable.

 

[markallen]

I have considered it.I'm still testing the design right now.

 

[rckid91]

is it really hard to do or cmon atleast give us something

 

[Lessen]

There must be quite a bit of mods done. You can tell from the picture above that the forward most section of the lower a-arm has been cut out to allow for the larger 1st gear spur. I would imagine that the suspension arm may be prone to significantly more flex.

That thing is nuts! Kind of a waste having that TZ in it. You can never get maxx RPM's out of the thing in that truck now. Unless you add some serious weight to the front end. Just to see how fast it can really go... Your going to chew up tires like us jato guys now. I never thought I'd be able to wear out a set of pro-line road tires... but they have considerable wear after a not very long time.

I had a set back in the day on my xxx-nt. I had those tires on it for a full summer just jacking around in parking lots and they had nowhere near the wear my jato's do only after a few bash sessions.

 

[rckid91]

the jato will eat anything in the form of rear tires even with proline street rears t thing will spin them on dry pavement but the rc10 will do iy to i had an old megatech .16 and it flew and the motor was on its last leg

 

[markallen]

I am planning on going with the new era hex adapters and 1/8 foam tires and run it onroad from now on.That way I can gear it however I want and get the most speed I can get.

 

[rckid91]

Yeah
Well No Info On The 2 Speed??

 

[markallen]

First you must cut the ends off of a NTC3 2 speed shaft at the red lines.
Then machine the inside to fit over the end of the slipper shaft after cutting the end off.(Look 2 pics below)

Cut off the slipper shaft at the red line.

Machine the OD of the rear slipper clutch plate for clearance.

Last you need to fit the modified 2 speed shaft over the modified slipper shaft and drill a hole thru both and press in a small drive pin to hold them together.Bend brake arm up to clear spur gear.

Ok that's it for the tranny.Then mount the engine with a Ntc3 2 speed clutch bell with your chose of gears using Ofna adjustable engine mounts.Then you will need to make the hole in the chassis bigger in order to bumpstart it.Modify right rear lower a-arm to clear spur gear.Modify rear support brace to clear carb on engine.Then run it and enjoy.The following picture shows the bent up brake arm,clearanced rear support brace and lower a-arm.

Any questions?

 

[Elmerfudd]

Yeah just one.........can you make me one?!

 

[markallen]

Yeah just one.........can you make me one?!

Sure.Just one problem.I have to have all three pcs to do it.That way they will fit together properly.

 

[Zachary]

So if i was to send you the car and enough miney you would build the tranny for me?

so you can't just machine us up a couple and let us buy em off u

 

[markallen]

We can't just machine the 2 speed shaft.We have to do it together.Plus you would have to buy all the other parts to make it all work.
