Ansmann Madrat/Macnum/madmonkey Steel Idlers.

[daveyboi1973]

Hi everyone.

just recieved first batch of these idlers back from the hardeners.

This pic was taken next to a new stock nip item.

The idlers are cut from good quality steel and the case hardened for maximum strength and durability,and are a direct replacement for the stock items.
The idlers are machined precisely and to eliminate any possible slop unlike the stock items but do allow for a very smooth running drivetrain.
Bearing fitment involves first greasing holes either side then tapping in bearings with a soft faced mallet or a vice until bearing surface is flush.This ensure there is no play or runout and the gear stays running true.

I have tested theses idlers up to a 5.5t on 3s and all ive managed to break is a driveshaft !!!!!

The price isnt cheap,considering the nylon etc variants available,but you really do get what you pay for here.

Please pm me for more details !!!
Thanks
dave.

nice i have orded a nylon one and a kevlar ball diff asowe ceramic balls full option diff
i will post pics later

[daveyboi1973]

Nice.I use the ceramic diff balls and a better quality stainless screw setup in mine.I have tried the nylon idler and even the £15 ansmann alloy lder and have managed to break both.Saying that,im a basher and not a racer and tend to thrash things to thier limits anyway :).I only tend to use 5.5t motors and 3s in all my chassis,as thats what im used to.This is the reason why i have gears like this one made.My last gear conversion for the royal flash/master smacker proved to be a big hit too.I know its not really for this forum as most of you guys race and are looking for strength,low weight and cost,but i thought i would share these with you all anyway :).
thanks

I'm pretty new to all of this - I got a mad rat as a present last year, then this year I upgraded it to the Xirius race kit - 3900kv (10t). Fast (and expensive) enough for me for the minute.

Needless to say I overdid it recently and buggered up something in the transmission - I don't know what it is (haven't taken it apart yet), but I expect it to be due to the plastic gears. Having read your posts (@daveyboi1973) on here and elsewhere I assume that I need your metal gears. Could you let me know where to go to order them from you? I either push it too hard or I'm a bad driver - I recently had to order the metal front plate from RCfun in NL....

Thanks!
