Gear plate pooped out on me.

[ChuenouXiao]

That is the same plate he just deanoized it.

I'm really considering this....

Because it's black....

So this is the MT black aluminum gear plate that uses larger bearing for my XB right?

 

[ChuenouXiao]

No its the plastic MT plate but it does have the larger bearings.

Wow.... I don't like the word plastic..... so I have no choice but to get the MT aluminum.... do you know other color?

 

[rcgasser]

Sorry... I am noob.... deanoized?

Yes strip the paint off!!!!!!!!!!! [ame]

Yes strip the paint off!!!!!!!!!!!

Does RCdad's pulley kit use MT plate only or does it work with the blue aluminum XB gear plate?

 

[Guest]

The blue one is the MT version. it work on all Redcat gassers.

The anodizing is the hardend colored surface that gives the aluminum it's color.

There is an aluminum gear plate that is gun metal for the XB but it uses the smaller bearings.

The belt drive kit works on all Redcat gear plates.

 

[rcgasser]

Dude!!!!!!!!!! the MT plate blue and RCDAD plate on the belt drive is the same plate. RCDAD has suggested that you up grade to the MT plate for the belt drive for better support and the larger bearings

Wow... sorry about the confusion. You've answered my question Base on my options and my plan for my XB, I'm choosing the gun metal xb gear plate with your pulley. What are your thoughts on the stock bearing on that gun metal gear plate?

LOL!!! Sorry Rcgasser.... thanks for explaining. I appreciate it a lot! What do you think about my decision on the XB gun metal plate with the stock bearings?

 

[rcgasser]

don't use the XB plate use the MT plate for the larger bearing and better support!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ChuenouXiao]

don't use the XB plate use the MT plate for the larger bearing and better support!!!!!!!!!!

Even though the gun metal plate is aluminum?

 

[rcgasser]

Yes it is but you still will not have the bigger bearings.

 

[ChuenouXiao]

Yes it is but you still will not have the bigger bearings.

Do you think I'm pushing it with the stock bearings?

 

[rcgasser]

Because of having bearings problems with the stock XB bearings already I juts prefer to use the MT larger bearings with I have not had any problems with since I changed them to the MT.

You are right... i agree... the last thing I want is to take my XB apart again.....

 

[rcgasser]

I hope you don't feel that way about taking it apart again because if you keep running it somewhere down the road you will have to take the XB apart again!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean.... eventually with time I will have to take it apart again right? I know... but I want to minimize doing that. Have you use the pulley from RCdad?

Not yet but soon!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your thoughts on RCdad's pulley and Demon's 2 speed? which one would be more durable? Is it true that the 2 speed will give me top speed?

 

[rcgasser]

Yes the 2 speed will give you more top speed I can not wait until those are released also to get me one.

 

[Guest]

Me too! My MT is a pig. A 2speed on OBRs 8.2hp will be the next upgrade for her.
