Rover Man Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I dont get how these multi speed gears work off road. As when you hit a bump and the rear wheels lift dont they just change up ??? So lets say you've just pulled off in first, hit a bump so it changes up then when you land the revs bog so it changes down to first again. Or am i missing something ????

Mark7616 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 There not very good offroad dave you need to either gear it to change pretty much straight away or have it come in right at the end. On a track it would be useless over jumps etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Excellent points above. I realise it's an old post. Alloy gear carrier is a good point, I'd definitely add alloy engine mounts, and probably diff mounts. If either the pinion or spur is steel, you must match the other. If one is steel, the other alloy or plastic, the weaker one will be chewed alive. Much has been mentioned on LargeScale against the gear cover - if you get stones inside, they generally don't escape as easily and will potentially jam the gears. Al.

Nitroholic Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 PLEASE.....use the search facility. Read some of the replies to the posters who already asked that question, and make up your own mind based on what you read. You will find quite a few locked threads where fights started, lots of opinions based on no hard evidence and a handful of people who actually owned the things all mixed up in them.
