Got my Sumo gears from AAA today. I am stoked. These gears should put me at 115:1 :smokin: and give me more help in breaking my spindly axles.

I am a little nervous about relieving the t-case. Any advice before I get the dye grinder out? Instructions would have been a nice touch, at least for this part.

I think Geoff had a story on ORC about putting in the gears, I think it had pretty good pics.


If you cant find it just grind the crap out of it, if you see daylight, go back the other way. :D :eek: You didn't really expect to get instructions for $1000.00??? I don't know what in hell is wrong with these people...sell something that requires major tweaking and no instructions. Ya gotta love the "aftermarket".

So now, you gotta buy shite you could build cuz you´re buildin´ shite for others to buy...:flipoff2: :D

Now THAT´S fawkin´hilarious...:D :D

See what ambition gets ya´?!?!?!?:flipoff2: :D :flipoff2:

BTW everyone, Bill 4rest really DOES have a kick-ass designed and well-made t-case bucket for a good price. Seriously......

So, if you´re in the market, be sure to consider sending an order to him. Looks like he´s got a LOT of spare time on his hands, so you´ll get real quick delivery...

Don´t mention it, Bill:flipoff2: :D :flipoff2: :D

We have some instructions on the clearancing in the tcase for the 6:1 gears. They are for the 6:1 only, they come as a supplement to our standard gear instructions. We include some additional pieces in our kit that I don't think come in yours, but the installation is exactly the same.

If you'd like to have our instructions, send me an email at rro@ditell.com and I'll reply back to you with the supplemental instructions as an attachment later today.

Got the e-mail. Thanks for the instructions. Combined with the pictures from ORC, it should be a piece of cake :D

Not a problem. To date I think I've done about 25 installs on them and its really not tough at all. I use a rotary bit with wide spacing designed for aluminum. Takes me less than 5 minutes for both case halves nowadays :^)

If you do go too far and cut thru the housing, don't worry, the aluminum epoxy sold in hardware stores dries rockhard and works plenty well for a patch. I punched a hole in the transmission box of my Honda XR400R recently and used some of that stuff. Durable as all hell!

Good luck, have fun!
