Default Layshaft Assembly Instructions


Place the 2mm pin into the shaft.

Insert the steel top gear.

Clip the e clip.

Slide the layshaft through the gearbox so that the slipper side comes out from the motor side.

Slide in the 5x10 bearing into the gearbox.

Place the idler pulley.

Place the outer gearbox cover and the other 5x10 bearing, then e clip the shaft.

Fix the motor Plate.

Place the first B4 slipper plate all the way in.

Place the spur gear with slipper pads glued thinly on the spur.

Fit the outer slipper pad.

fit the spring and the nut and tighthen. you will need to do adjustment at the track.

Your slipper is now ready but you need to modify your gear cover to protect the long end. So I will give you this tube which I will cut.

Basically you need to ream a hole at the center of the gear cover where the nut is, and then insert the tube. Make sure you don't ream too much, you need this to be a little tight fit. Place silicone sealant over the sides to seal the gear cover. Adjust the angle of the tube so that it is straight. Let the silicone glue dry overnight. After the silicone has dried, place superglue over the joint to stiffen it.

How the gear cover looks like from the inside.

I forgot to mention, you must fix your rear shocks backwards and flip you rear arms too. Because the right shock will get in the way of the new shaft. I recommend the use of a 81T spur as is it closest in diameter to the original Mid spur gear.

hey alcyon,

maybee an idea for the future, but i think on the team durango DEX 210 the spring is on the other side (so the gear and slipper plates and slipper pad on the original side and the spring for tightning it or adjusting on the other side of the car) see on a manual or pictures of the durango dex 210 . maybee that is a solution for not changing the arms and the shocks and maybee you don't have to modifie the gear cover.....

regards,

ken

hi kenios. Yes I know about the 210, however I believe this will be impossible to do on the optima mid because it will entail too much modifications on the left side gearbox. I will still study the manual as you suggested , however I need the actual parts in order to properly design . I bought the B4 slipper shaft and parts and then only designed this shaft.
