gearbox oil leak found


Recommended Posts

Posted

some of you will know that i have been having gearbox oil leaking all season so out it came for a strip down. 

all looked ok and we suspected the speedo drive so we deiced that we would blank it off. Today after the main case and tail have been aqua blasted the tail is cracked quite badly from outside down and under the bottom to the other site all the way through, So that's where its been leaking

I have put a wanted add out but if any of the speed series collective have anything knocking about im after a type 9 tail housing or a knackered box i can steel it off.

just glad its the tail and not the alloy main case £600:suspect: 

 

cheers

Trev at Tranzpower has said that we could weld it was just seeing if there was another option of just putting on new.

i can get a brand new one for £150 but was trying to weight up the options

cheers

New and improved. Thanks to @BCF for the tail housing and thanks to Trevor at Tranzpower for the great customer service. Would highly recommend.
