Interesting

If you have the layshaft adjustment (threaded bit opposite the spur, then you don't have the same gearbox. The number of gunmetal + red aluminum gearboxes spread between Amazon and AE likely numbers in the dozens. Might get a good one, might get what I got. I refuse to apply a review of "very good" to something that is at it's very best "functional." There are plenty of $20-30 gearboxes out there without the same component, hardware, fitment, and QC issues.

All of my favorite cheap wheels have come from Hotstorm. I'll try any of 'em, just so long as the backs are 6-bolt.

The easiest way to add a slipper is to just buy a whole gearset: amzn.to/3OAZto0. Luckily the dig box won't fit that crappo main gear. You should be able to use any "pin drive" slipper assembly. I Can't help on the screw assortments, unfortunately. I buy mine in hundred bags from McMaster.

That combo of gunmetal and red aluminum 3-gear occurs dozens of times across Amazon and AliExpress, and I'd be willing to bet if you bought five, you'd be lucky if three were the same.

The only Benedict Harry gearbox I have decent hands-on experience with is the two speed amzn.to/3SfBScV which is excellent (also has reverse output.)

Thank you. I'm a huge Baseline fan. I'm actually thinking of buying one after watching him hit the rocks. He does what he does, and looks good while doing it. @@CrawlerCanyon

Did. Smoother(ish), but the play in the bearings is still there, and there's no way to swap in the Axial topshaft gear, because the clonegear is longer. "We're gonna eat a dolphin!"

A failed experiment in trying to get a universal cantilever kit to work. It adds too many variables. Just slapping towers on the rig improved the handling of the rig immeasurably in about 2 minutes.

Any free gearbox is a pretty good one. But that clonebox is usually around the same price as the clone of the Vanquish+Hurtz, which is rock solid-- and has dig.

@CrawlerCanyon don't have any to put in thinking about a new skid the my Capra, giving it a try.

Looks good in pictures, but actually fraught with uncorrectable problems?

Apparently, aluminum is something that is kinda unique to "hobbying," so the choices in that material are super slim on Amazon, and usually overpriced-- like $1 per spacer in many cases. But if you're okay with plastic (and easily half my shocks use plastic spacers) we're lucky enough to have overlap with PC building, so we can buy big bins of them: amzn.to/3WuNev8

@@CrawlerCanyon I’m fine with plastic Thank you

It's probably not on Amazon but Team KNK sells spacer kits. They aren't cheap really at 26 bucks, but I used some on a g-speed build and have been digging into that pack ever since. It has been very helpful to have around. I believe the first spacers I bought were from Yeah Racing or Hot Racing

One time use transmission 😅

I've kind of arrived at a place where if you want a 3-gear, spend the coin and get a Stealth X. They've kind of done it the best. Plus, having up to 18% UD inside the box ends up saving money, as you can leave your axle gears alone. If you want dig, it's the $30 dig box, and whatever needs replaced on it to make it proper (the QC on those boxes is near non-existent, which is where the savings come from.) Gearboxes like the 2Low and OD-3 are annoying "compromise boxes" where you're going to have to do things you don't necessarily want to do to get them to fit. If you're on a budget, Hobbypark and Injora both have dirt cheap plastic case 3-gear boxes that do the thing-- with no glamour at all. Not the gearboxes you buy for life, but instead the ones you buy "for now."

Thanks man ! Love the content as always 🤘 you've helped me decide on alot of purchases along the way as I learn. Thanks

A Stealth X is $65 now, but I completely agree.

The worst part about this is I have like... 90% of what's needed already on-hand. I'm just missing axles. edit: I then remember that I have a box full of Redcat Gen7 Pro axles. I already have the all-junk build, it's just not built yet.

@@CrawlerCanyon perfect!

@@CrawlerCanyon I’d love if it some how came out insanely capable like the SCX10 not-RTR, but was just an insane bucket of shit full of noise and bleeding grease.
