Gp5 gear in limitless

[Alex mc]

Hi I just bought the gp5 gear to go into the limitless but when bolted up it’s to tight to turn, the diff case and housing have the same part numbers but the bearings don’t although they are the same size, any help would be much appreciated thanks

Hi but when I put them together they won’t turn it’s to tight I was wondering if the bearings were somehow different although the same size like stepped in a bit, thanks

Dumb question - are you using both the GP5 input gear as well as the GP5 crown gear?

If so, are there any shims on the diff outdrive that are pushing the crown gear intro the input gear? If there are, take them out and see if that improves anything.

Doffs can be a pain in tha arss.i get it apart an operating smooth.as u turn every screw 1 turn make sure everything is still smooth,no play anywhere.turn,check ,turn, check,,,,,,,,,,,overtightened will cause it to bind

Say you're using the GP5 15T pinion with the limitless ring gear, you're adding two more teeth compared to the 13T. That might be why it's so tight.

Which gear did you switch out? Pinion only? Diff and pinion?

Hi I’m using both the gp5, I’m not using any shims at all thanks, does this metal plate at the back come out thanks

I'm almost certain u got the diff in backwards.flip it around an try it.
99% sure the teeth on diff are supposed to be on passenger side.your 5th pic

Hi gp5 the 15 and 42

You have the right gears.input gears bigger cause ring is smaller.should equal out.

According to the exploded view, this is how the front should look:

Hi I’ve just seen the problem they’ve sent me a 45 tooth marked as a 42t cheers

HOLY FCK! Did a supplier mismark a batch of GP6 (45T) crown gears as GP5?

Hope someone at Arrma knows about this because they are going to be in for a world of hurt....


Also - does this blow the theory of swapping GP5 and GP6 diffs in the Felony to run equal tires on all corners???

Well the ratio equates the same.

I'm wondering if I can just swap the GP5 pinion 15T into a diff case and use my existing 43T straight cut ring gear?

@Alex mc swap in a Typhon diff and see if it works

Lol it was marked wrong, I’m putting these in the limitless I like the look of the bigger tires on the back, but I’m getting the gp5s sent to me again so now I’ll have spares I’ll be able to change when I want, thanks for your help pal cheers
