Aluminum tranny gears

[ryanvm777]

wasnt sure how to spell stroopwafels so I just copied whatever was on the package. I dont think so about my grandfather or my great grandfather, not sure never met either one. I've been told that my last name means " of the wind mill" When my grandparents or great grandparents came from Holland I believe they put van and Der together when they came to the US......Mike how much did you say those tranny gears would be.

How much.?!?!...

NO way thats to much.!!!

.......

Well I'll have to think about it thats a lot of $$$



LOL:D :D :D

I don't know how much. Just figured I would determine the demand first! Seems as though people want them, as long as they are cheap!

So if you change the tranny gears to aluminum and install a metal idler gear, then pretty much the point of failure in the tranny moves to the spur gear or the slipper clutch, and that's it, right? Or are there plastic gears in the diff, too?

I suppose that if you want something to fail, those would be the top contenders, since they're fairly accessible, or am I missing something?

[ryanvm777]

In the diffs the gears are not plastic but there is a cup that is plastic with small screws. You can upgrade to Maximizer 7075 Aluminum diff cups with bigger screws. You can also get metal spur gear and a double splipper clutch.

i'd keep the spur plastic, i rather that strip than something in the tranny or diffs. Metal spurs eat up pinion gears as well. Slipper clutchs dont really break, they just wear out over time...this would not be from all metal gears.

You could count me in Mike. What would be cool also is if it were to be produced is offering options such as a 2nd gear only mod or even first gear and of course the entire set.

I had ultramaxxed gears and I sold them.:mad: I definitely regret selling them.

I thought of just doing the second gear with the G-maxx single speed tranny case (when it is finished, of course).

Awesome. My truck is going to be going though many changes. Right now I am looking for a hotter BL setup.

[Megazone23]

Not to change the subject or anything, but once you go brushless, is there any reason to stick with the 2 speed tranny?

not for me, but some people maybe.

Yeah. For racing, probably not, but for bashing, you occasionally wanna go beyond 30's. Suppose you were bashing around at 35 mph and some hot shot comes around with a 40 mph gas MT. Just put it in second gear and you can shut that person up pretty quick.

Lipomaxx hit that one on the head - shut them up real quick - then go back to foolin around until the next unsuspecting victim......

Count me in for a set of those gears!
