Typhon Typhon v5: how to reattach drive shaft to spool

[eddywatson]

Hey guys I’ve got my self a spool 46T and I’m trying to install it and put everything back together but I’m finding it a bit hard. How do you line everything up with out things fall out lol
Any advice would be great

Are you missing the front diff/spool bracket? Or just don’t show it installed?

Haha I have not installed it back into place… yet

Also doesn’t the spool have spacers missing between the bearings and gears, etc?
I not sure just from the one I am making i have spacers

The spur gear can move up and down the shaft, this allow it to be lined up with the pinion exactly where I want it. I then tighten the grub screw and hold it in place

I’m putting carbon fiber 10x8mm tube spacers here

I believe it’s so the bearings can’t move off the holders

Yep you are missing the spacers. You could simply use washers if that’s all you have. I have also used extra bearings at points when my gap was big enough. You just need those bearings held in place

I would show you mine lol, but all I have are the pieces, I had a crash so I’m rebuilding and waiting on a few parts till I make it, but I used the same parts as you the same 8mm rod, drive cups, and spur gear. And then adding the spacers is also in my plan I saw several others do it this way on here, and on YouTube. Try checking out a few videos. I also like the adjustment of the spur, but then once I have the set spot I’m putting the spacers cut to size. Good luck, if you need a piece of the carbon fiber tube I have plenty extra I would send you a piece u could cut spacers from. Just pm me an address

Its a tight fit with the front brace installed. Take the brace out and put the front shaft in first, kind of a balancing act, then put the rear shaft in and give it a push until it locks in

 

[eddywatson]

Will that work if I use a hack saw and cut it down to size?

I would buy that in Carbon Fiber instead. But yeah it would work.

I can’t find a carbon fibre one within the uk

Here is what I bought here in the USA.

After a bit of research I found this. Will that do the job?

Yep that looks like a winner

Also remember to wear a mask when cutting CF. The dust is very harmful to your lungs.

If you do cut the tube you’ll want the spacers to be 2mm & 8.9mm.

Thanks!

Yeah you “might” want to measure the spacers yourself since your gear “might” be different setup then the 2mm, &8.9mm spacers are made for. Just to be sure And don’t make them tight, they just need to keep things from coming out of their place, having .25-.5mm of play is ok on each side of spacer.

Cheers, will do… I’ve got a carbon fibre tube on its way to me this coming week so I can measure and cut it to the sizes I need
