Long shaft gearboxes for parts

[AlwynTurner]

If anyone has a pair of broken long shaft 8mm spindle gearboxes of any pedigree, I am wanting the shafts for my drive system for the Universal Carrier. I'm very happy to pay packing/postage. Please PM me if you have such. I would be happy just to get the drive spindles to save postage?

Thanks

Are tiger 1 shafts too short?

Or is it Pershing ones that are longer?

[AlwynTurner]

I'm not sure, I'm looking for the 56mm shafts and I don't know the length of the Tiger ones. Looking at Forgebears site I think the Tiger 1 gearboxes were short shaft.

Ok, I will have a look, I'm pretty sure the Pershing ones are the longer, I have a set of each I can remove the shafts from, I'll go look.

This is a very crude drawing of what I am looking to build



I'm basically looking to use a tank mixer module

plus a couple of escs and an rc rx using channels 1 and 2

Add a sound unit and who needs an MFU?

So have I, if your boxes are in good condition Tom, maybe I'll strip mine down as the gears aren't so good.

Alwyn, would you like a pair of flanged or un-flanged bearings with the shafts?

[AlwynTurner]

Hi Guys thanks for the offers. Tom if your gearboxes are working it seems a shame to strip them, I just need the drive shafts out of them so Son of a gunner I would much appreciate your kind offer. Just let me know packing/postage cost and I'll reimburse.

Many thanks

Isn't the 56mm shaft measurement the the whole shaft length?
And as the shaft is a smaller diameter at the other end from the sprocket, what id diameter bearing would you need for the internal end of your modified shaft?
