Why would the post get deleted?

It is typically frowned upon to directly advertise a competitor's product on these forums, since RC-Monster Mike owns them. However, he doesn't sell a GST conversion on the website so it might be OK in this instance.

Oops. I didn't realize that He also sold products. Hopefully since he doesn't sell that kit he will allow my post.

I made my post on a cell phone so I didn't see the products up top.

I don't think it's a big deal. The forum in general is pretty lenient about this stuff.

What size spur are you running in the pics? 62t off a crt?

that's not true i had a 8th scale on road adapter he remove real quick and someone posted that he would do so

Looks like something that would work in a savage, but $100 is a lot for two small & flat pieces of aluminum.

$100? ouch indeed..

$100 is a lot.. especially when you have to drill more holes after.. If it was a bolt on, the price would be reasonable.

That's what I thought of too, CD in a savage.

Has anyone tried this out yet?

I was thinking of doing this homemade style. I would use a couple of layers of aluminium to match the width of this (For example.), then drill the hole for the diff. bearing in a couple of the layers, and another larger hole in the remaining layers for it to stay.

Making 2 different sized holes in a single piece of aluminium is difficult, and I don't have the tools to do that. The 2nd hole in the diff. mount is to prevent any movement, right?

You could do it with a boring head in a drill press. Since I don't have a mill, that's my plan.

correct. you'd need your bearing hole and your outside layer of aluminum would need a SMALLER (you said larger) hole so the bearing couldn't pop out.

Ops well yeah I meant a smaller. :P Thanks. That would be easier to do with just a thin layer of alu. Wouldn't be that hard to make a somewhat thick layer with bearing sized hole, and another thin layer of alu with a smaller hole and just screw it onto the larger layer.

that would do it. definitely a way to get around not having the right tools. good thinking!

It may be a little difficult to achieve a perfectly round hole with a drill bit though. You'll want to use a center punch and several smaller drill bits working your way up to the final hole size.

What tools are usually used for such work? Got a link to a setup?

Boring head with a set of boring bars.

A boring head is about $60 and a set of bars is $20 or so.

This is usually used on a mill, but can also be used on a drill press. With this, you could use just one piece of aluminum since you can control the dept of the hole. This is what I plan on using.

Will do that.

By the way, do you know of some metal cutting/types of metal tutorials? A tutorial on metal or something. Basically I would like to know more about how to work with metal, and cheap tools (Tools not ranging in the 10.000$++ range.)

That MIT video series is very good for that. Takes a few hours to get through all of them. As for tool, I just ask a lot of questions at the metal working forums. CNCzone is one I've been spending a lot of time lately.
