Hi Everyone,
I hope this is the right place to post this question.
I need some advice on gearboxes for a KV2. :problem:
I have a taigen hull with metal wheels, cogs and idlers. (no tracks yet)
I think that I need short shafts for the cogs.
Can anyone suggest what gearboxes I can use.
I would prefer to use a low ratio if possible, 4:1 or 5:1 :D
Also, I have tried to fit heng long High/Low gearboxes from a Tiger 1 but these hit the upper deck. :thumbdown:

Any help would be much appreciated. :)

Thanks
Afrikakorps

Hi AK, If you go to
http://www.welshdragonmodels.com
You click on Gearboxes for heng long and then go to new generation taigen gearboxes and you will see the whole TAIGEN range of gearboxes,
If you click on any picture you will get details about which Tanks that particular gearbox will fit, these gearboxes will fit HENG LONG/TAIGEN/TORRO Tanks. :thumbup:
These gearboxes are available from Forgebear if Welsh dragon are out of stock. :lolno:

Of course you know that the higher the number the lower the ratio? so a 5/1 would be better for scale speed than a 3/1. :thumbup:
