Hi made a small batch some months ago which i sold one on my spare car to Tom above and the car on here is my Bro spare. I have not had chance to do anymore as been busy at work but am in the process of setting up a small machine shop at home so i can make some more soon (4 to 6 weeks I’m hoping)! Will post them on here as soon as i have some more.

Cheers Nick,
Any chance you will be making some to allow the fitment of the gear diff? Whats the rought ETA and price on the parts? Gareth |

would depend on how much i would need to change i have a gear diff so will have a look! price is £40 due to the amount of machining going into them!

Nick, is this one of your gearboxes fitted to this car??
![]() The reason I ask is because I now own the car shown.... I haven't had a proper look at it yet... but it seems to be missing the two screws that would normally fix into the bottom of the standard Losi case... is this correct as there doesn't seem to be any corresponding holes in the 4-gear gearbox casing. The gearbox does flex a bit, independant to the chassis. |

Damn you beat me and my dad to that car
![]() Thats a slightly older box which Nick made if im correct, i think with that box you use the brass motor plate mount thingy, that screws into the chassis? Hope that helps? Tom Edit: just seen the brass mount... hmmm

Yeah that one of the first gearbox I made (Rob Fox old car Yeah?) It was not as neat as the final version and is out of a different type of material to the new ones! It should have mounting holes but they never got drilled as he should of drilled them when he fitted it to the car using the chassi as a template!

![]() Really looking forward to running this car... i've been out of the Off Road game for about ten years now, but returned this year for some club meetings racing a vintage RC10 - most of these meetings were on full astro-turf & I must say that I've struggled a bit on this surface... though it was fine on old-skool grass! Want to see how this CR2 compares to the old beast that I have been running ![]() P.S; Does anyone know what ball joints are on my car? Are they standard Losi CR? They just seem shorter than what i've seen on other people's cars? Last edited by DerbyDan; 16-09-2010 at 09:49 AM. Reason: Note added re; ball cups |

Aup, yeah thats my old car.
Nick as you know i am a lazy arse so i didnt drill the holes even though you told me to ![]() Dan, the balljoints are Lunsford super duty (or it could be heavy duty) ones that came with the larger Ti turnbuckles. If you need any help with the car just PM me. |

Anyway, its a nice car in sweet condition... i'm looking forward to hitting that bumpy stuff with it! Quick Q Rob, what sort of gearing would you run on it for a 6.5BL? & Nick whats the internal ratio for the gearbox once the extra gear is added.... am I correct in thinking its still std XXX - just rotating the other way?? |
#19
|

The turnbuckles are thicker than standard so you have to use the Lunsford ends.
On gearing i really cant remember, did Paul not give you the setup sheets, it'll be on there. Hope you enjoy it! Its ace indoors at Worksop!! |

Think i use a 75/25 on my CR2 if that helps, thats using a 6.5 motor...
And i THINK, but stress the word think, the gear ratio stays the same? Could be wrong though?
