I had to do a quick Google search after clicking the link on the transmission…. It's not a design flaw if you're trying to use the transmission for a front axle it wasn't designed for. It says in the listing it's designed for scx10 II builds. All the aftermarket scx10 II axles I can find have a center pumpkin, not offset like yours has.
Also, I have the fusion pro in my scx10 III. It's got plenty of speed on the stock trans and 11 tooth pinion with amazing low speed control. When I heard you say you aren't getting enough wheel speed out of anything lower than a 21 tooth on 28% front OD my brain cried in unhappy motor noises.
Good luck man, hope you find a build for that transmission.
I'm pretty sure that new transmission can be rebuit so that the motor can sit on the left or right. That would fix your drive shaft issue.
Straight links might give you more clearance at the end of the motor. Looks like you might have a 550 can, a 540 would give more room
Dude, I love your new back ground or whatever it is you got going there LoL! Is that a green screen? It’s really different. I got to hand it to you for going out and trying some different combinations of stuff on your comp crawler, and experimenting and stuff. I’ve seen these aftermarket over drive set ups work for a bunch of different crawlers, but the ones I saw were crawler build kits. I’m not much of a fabricator so doing stuff like this;(making stuff fit and work is a bit out of my comfort zone. I don’t have proper tools do that stuff. I’ll enjoy watching you do it from the sidelines though and will be cheering you on dude! Really appreciate the shout out too brother, you really didn’t have to. So thank you my friend! Yes it a new plane a very easy to set up. I think you’ll like it. For such little planes these war birds fly with authority! Hope you have fun. Hope you find something that fits well for your RGT. That thing is awesome!
Yeah I used a 1/8 fuse motor I got used from Ebay it came with a thicc pinion gear and man oh man does it fit like a glove with the gearbox stock spur gear. Hell Yeah this setup moves well with brushless motors
I have been looking into getting this transmission too. Seems most that use these have small outrunners so there wouldn't be any issues with motor length no matter what axles you used. I'm glad I watched your video though, all this time I thought the motor mount side went the opposite direction 😅 motor on the rear axle side.
I used it on my build with an out runner brushless motor and my front differential is a center pumpkin.i used the meus portal axles in amazon.
I’ve not touched my rec crawlers in a year. Need to fix them mine are old. A 87 Tamika bruiser and a clone of it. Are my fav bu I have a gen 7 and a twisty one that I’m tearing it apart after I get a chassis to use an injora jeep body.
You should go for a Outrunner setup, it will clear you links. Outrunner is in my opinion far better for crawling.
Dumb question…wouldn't the center shaft go in the back and the offset go in the front?
If the internals. Real you can replace them with the real American manufacturer parts. This transmission is a Chinese copy of the tgh 2-low
You need a stubby outrunner motor
that transmission is going to become a slipper clutch at best from my own experience it's just a matter of time is better t keep your sock transmission or go wite the real 2low from tgh
Always gonna have those kind of issues when buying cheap mismatched parts.
I think it's meant to be mounted the other way motor towards the back rear drive shaft should be strait and the front should be more straight also
The opposite of what you want with the weight up front
