5:1 Gearbox Problems

[Jimster]

I’ll blame my old feeble memory. I’ll grab a pic after work.

Here you go. They use the same box and photo for all their gearbox sets I guess.

I’ll ship these free to anywhere in the continental US if anyone is interested.

Those are 4:1 ball bearing gearboxes. And I'll take you up on that offer, PM on the way.

And the Chinese are absolutely famous for getting it wrong on the boxes. The new metal PIV says on the box it has dual MGs, it don't. And they refuse to throw boxes away so they'll keep using them until they're gone even after they know about the error. That's actually how I met Erik, I bought a Panther G that said on the box it had metal tracks, but it didn't.

Can you post a photo of the GBs that came out of the box that says 5 in 1?

Jimster, I was pretty sure you had seen this, but just in case

The gearboxes in the previous photo are pictured with the original box.
I think they’re counting the output shaft gear too maybe. The gearboxes on the right were sold as 4:1 from Taigen. Both sets are yours if you want them. I’m still pretty much a newbie so maybe I’ve been misled. Maybe I need to watch your video now

Yes, please watch the video. I think you should keep both sets, but if you insist I can put them to good use.

And there's a little white lie in the video, I do know who made up that 5:1 crap, but I'll never tell.

Send me a pm with your shipping address. They’ve just been sitting among tank clutter and I would rather see them put to good use.
