Well next is the gearbox.
I have heard a few comments with the gearbox being the weak spot of this buggy and how it all fits, with dremeling needed for the gearbox inside and internals needing shimming and a lot of fiddling needed to run smooth.
Well having built this gearbox, I must say it went together faultlessly. I used the all New,
Mardave EVO Diff
Mardave EVO Layshaft
Mardave EVO Delrin Idler Gear
Mardave Purple Motor Plate.
With the New EVO Diff you get 3 Delrin shims, which fit inside the ballrace holes to allow for the fit of the New outdrive bearings. These require a little super glue as per Mardave instructions, but nothing major, just a drop.
The only small issue I had, was with the original COBRA Gearbox. The outdrive holes need to be enlarged due to the new EVO outdrives being bigger. Easy job with a reamer.......
Pictures coming now of the New Gearbox....
