I had a customer break allot of those 10th gears on the TD23-3 and lost him the championship. They made the gear thinner so you can press in a full size bushing and not have to ream it. The 11th is ok but you can’t get the gear ratio you need for Sandy Hook. Sell it or keep it for a longer track.
I knew you’d have the answer Walt. Glad to have an explanation for the failure. We are going to try and run it as a direct drive now. Not looking to run for points or anything, since no one runs it anymore. Just looking to get more practice on the sprint tracks.
Just a thought Andrews Racing is getting out of the clutch drum business and they are selling drums cheap! $32. on eBay they had both Horstman and Tomar drums. I bought a 10 and 11 tooth drum they look nice, haven’t used them yet.
