O ring

[caveman]

The other day after fixing my pull start my MT was not rolling freely. I took off the gear cover and there's an o ring sitting there, will this cause the gears to stick?

The oring hold the gear hub pin in place. If the oring is off, you might have lost the pin. So yes, it could be the cause of some binding.

OK I'll take a look at it soon thanks

The four pin gear setup is so lame.

I agree I kept having the pins backing out and started using loktight on the pins and seems to help also went to harware store and picked up new thicker o rings also helped

Nice. I love the square drive setup, though. The gearing options are slim with the four pin setup. Anyway, didn't mean to jack the thread.

Would it be better to switch to square drive?

 

[Guest]

I would say yes. No small parts to fall out. There are more gear options available plus the belt drive would mount right up if you ever went that route.

I would like to get a belt drive. I'll look into switching soon.

 

[Deluge]

I'd switch.

Don't bother switching, just save a tiny bit more and go straight to the belt, all you need is the shafts and RCDAD sells them as an add on to the belt kit.....cheaper in the long run and you'll love the belt.

 

[Guest]

The only issue is the belt drive ratio is a bit tall for the MT tires. If you run any of the Baja tires it's great. If you have a high hp engine the taller ratio still works also.

I'm still running the MT tires but gives me a reason to switch. What's good for loose dirt, grass, and clay?

 

[Deluge]

Any tire with wide lugs will work. Like the Badlands, or the Hostile MX's.

 

[Guest]

The Hostiles are a bit more, but worth it! They will last 2-3 times longer than anything similar.

I love my Hostile's.

I love my hostiles! I have the same problem your having with the pins! In order to switch to square drive/ belt drive you just need the new clutchbell and shafts to support the square drive.????? I have the mt gear plate currently that came on mt.

 

[cherryride]

you need to change the gear plate for the square drive if you have the four pin now.

 

[Guest]

Yes that is correct. The 4pin gear plate is narrower at the shaft supports.
