upgraded to belt drive

[bigboysrctoys]

Ok so the new motor arrived and so did the needed parts for the belt drive and the bell part # 50029n the outer bearing on the gear mount will not fit the shaft. Does anyone know what size this is? I was under the assumption they were all the same size but thats what I get for assuming i guess

It's not the bearing my friend. The bearing is to sit on far section of the shaft before it steps up to the thicker section. Your gear plate is too short to support the bearing and longer shafts.

so your saying the gear plate needs to be changed out also? part#?

Yes, everything that has to do with the 4pin gear drive system is wrong for the belt drive. Part #050004 will work.

Yaup you need square drive gear plate and clutchbell and first and second way shafts

Don't worry your bearings will fit this plate.

 

[bigboysrctoys]

I did the same thing... had to wait 3 more weeks... grrrr

 

[bigboysrctoys]

yea hate the wait game especially now that this new motor is in and ready to be fired up! guess ill tear it down and powder coat some parts while I wait again.

Ok it seemed like a lot of play would be left even if I found a bearing that would have fit.

[Guest]

Sorry, I closed them out. They are being replaced by the new 7075 RC plates.

It's the gear plate, dude. Bummer. Time to open up the wallet, again.
