I made a gearbox-reversed CR.

not difficut to do this alterration,and is testing for few days.the widthways frame was cutout so i installed an alu bar for keeping chasis' strength,and it will be removed till cnc-work frame is done!

Awsome i have a spare chassis etc i wouldnt mind giving somethign similar a go. Would like to see how it performs compared to the cr.

i have a question.. since you reversed the gearbox do you now have to reverse the wires on the motor to get it to move forward? it is cool tho.. what does the body look like when it is mounted.

[Tom3012]

yes you do have to reverse the motor, unless you mod the gearbox. I did a similar mod to a B4, worked really well! You can't run a sensored brushless though as far as I'm aware.

[jono83]

you can mod the gearbox so the layshaft comes out the other side so you dont need to reverse the way the motor spins

[jeff jenkins]

i wish there were some pics somewhere on the mod for the gearbox.. as i saw this thread yesterday and took my chassis to work and milled it and made my own conversion last night.. i need to machine up one last piece and that is the new chassis brace.. oh yeah and a battery strap. after i saw this thread i looked up others and thought wow this could be fun.

[voo2doo]

Nice, but whats the point?

[nyheli]

my friend not only made a gearbox-reversed but a spurgear reversed as pic attached!!it's cool!!

[ottoswe]

have you tried it? i´m a bit concernd on how the make the rear plate hold for the amount of force the suspension wiill put on it.

it's still a 2WD buggy cause' smooth thro control is the main point.Paht720C for front tyres and "bow M3" tyres for rears,i hope everything for this tuning could be more funny!!

im gonna go with a rear topdeck.. will post pictures when its ready.. and buy a new xxx´cr

[jeff jenkins]

i am making a top deck that also serves as a battery strap and hopefully i will make it tonight at work.. i already made a tranny brace but that wasnt enough after driving the car it really drove alot better with te chassis as stiff as possibly. after i put some temperary turnbuckle braces along with the brace i made the car came to life and was alot better handling then the origional layout of the xxx. i spent all day sat at the track testing this car on high bite indoor clay . and got a really good set-u on it.

[ottoswe]

jeff, could you post a pic when you are done? i want to know if the way i´m designing it, is the way to go.

[jeff jenkins]

sure i can post a pic but i will do it in my own thread.. but i wasnt able to get the parts made last night at work because i was too busy.. but hopefully i can get them done before the weekend.

[jeff jenkins]

nyheli: got any updates and pics?
