Durango's gear box for b44! :thumbsup:

Oops, wrong thread, post moved.

And how was this acheived? What parts modded? As the Durango is metric and the B44 imperial.

I'm also really interested in that mod :drool:

gear diff + metal gears = winner :woot:

The diff housings look very similar between the 2 cars. I would assume if it bolts to the car you could just swap the smaller cog on the CVA and pop the diff in there.

Metric/imperial doesn't really play much part in this. If you end up with 10 metric screws on your B44 it's not much of a problem.

The motor (V12--5.5) and ESC 120A.

After 4 weekend’s test in thetrack, the performance is Champion. No power lost. Gear noiseless. No problem.!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
The diff house of the Durango can be fit in my b44 gear box.
But the ball bearing is too small to fit in with the house(b44), and hard to fine the bearing here. So, I made a Alloy shim to fit the ball bearing to set in the diff house.

The small gear is from Durango also and which need to be cut and drilled a hole to fit cross pin (B44). That it’s.

:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Many thanks! I have found my winter project.

Cheers!

I will help you in your project Gayo ;)

:thumbsup:

Olivier, while you're at it - can I order those custom parts from you? Please! :drool:

Shhh, don't disturb The Brain, he is actually making my parts :p

The only tricky thing is to mount Durango shaft pinions on B44 center shafts. You need a lathe and some skills for sure (thanks Oliv! :wub).

Otherwise, Durango diffs drop into B44 housings without any problems, they are of same dimensions as the AE stuff.

You need:
- 2 TD210001 (gear diff)
- 2 TD310005 (pinion)
- 2 ASC1731 (AE HD one-way bearings, as the Durango is metric)
- Some diff oil

Maybe also:
- 2 TD310022 (driveshaft boots :drool:)
- 1 TD310039 (rings holding the boots)

So that's around €150, without the lathe job. Ouch!
Hopefully I will have them for my next race on sunday. I will report how it feels here.

Good to see you back on the OR 10th scene.

need to clean the poor B44!!!

Back? I'm captured inside the "Diaper Nightmare 1" :lol:

One-way bearings? No front gear diff?

I think he means the bearings that support the oneway front diff, not the oneway bearings themselves. The oneway diff is metric - and comes with metric bearings with alloy collars to make them upto the size of the imperial diff bearings so it fits nicely inside the housings.

Oh, OK I understand now why you were so quiet since a few monthes :lol:
I have seen Diaper Nightmare 1 and 2, that's enough for me.

No. The HD one-way, made by Yokomo for their TC cars, is metric. AE uses special ball bearings in order to use it on AE cars. You can use the same bearings to fit Durango diffs on AE housings.
Hope I'm clear :woot:

Edit - Jimmy said it better and faster than me

Aha! That's great! So the only mod needed is on the center shafts then.

Olivier, post some pics of the process please!

:thumbsup:

So you don't need to use a lathe to do this? Just dremel off some material from the gear and drill a hole for the cross pin?

Hi SHY!

Doing this job with a Dremel will be your second nightmare :lol:

The Durango pinion and B44 drive shaft are made in hard steel material...

I will post some pics very soon ;)

Oliv'

Hey BigBrains!

The Dremel can cut through anything - like a warm knife through butter! :lol:

Don't tell me you don't have the Dremel Disease anymore??? :D

SHY, here are the mods you have to do with your Dremel :lol:

The drive shaft shortened:
