Hmm, what to do...

[Panhead5496]

Well, my Baja warrior had a bad day lol.

Just blew off the TC (guess the bolt was lose, but last time I rode it was fine, so who knows)

Parts went everywhere in a wooded area, can't find some of them. I'm missing parts 1, 2, 3, 6, 6b, and 8, from this pic http://www.gopowersports.com/torque-converters/30-series-parts/

By the time I buy all the parts from them and add shipping, I can just about get a whole new assembly from eBay ($55 or so)

Also will have to get this, https://gokartsusa.com/Baja-Heat-MB200-Minibike-TC2-Torque-Converter-3.aspx since my Baja has the different crankshaft, and I don't think it will work with the eBay TC...maybe it will? Not sure.

What would y'all do? Get the parts separately or order a new assembly?

The plus would be that if (when) my dad wants a TC, I'll have a good many of the parts...

I would order a new assembly... I have the ebay $55 special and with the lug nuts it works just fine, no issues whatsoever. The lug nuts I got on ebay as well so it all came within a day of each other. I would get a better belt as the belt that comes with the ebay TCs is pretty bad and very tight until worn in.

Thanks. That's what I was leaning towards as well.

Do you happen to have a link to those lug nuts? I can't seem to find them on eBay.

I have some belts already too

Awesome! Do they sell just one for cheaper?

 

[frostyflammable]

I wish, I got the pack and gave the rest away to other addicted mini bikers.
Look at it this way, get this pack and you can buy three more warriors haha.

I ordered a new TC set up off eBay last night. Used the 15% off code and got it for a great price!

I got the 3/4" shaft, I forgot to make sure it was the correct size, if I remember right it will be


Going to go by a few auto parts stores and see if I can buy a single lug nut, will take the link above and see if they can match it!

3/4in is the correct shaft size on the 196 that came with it.

15% off? How does one get that, it would be perfect for those tires I want to get. Or was this a limited deal I missed out on?

Whew that's what I thought

Yes, the 15% off was a one day deal. It ended yesterday. Keep an eye on eBay, there have been several lately. You just put in the code at checkout. Minimum order of $25, with a max discount of $50.

I saw it on an RC forum, and forgot to post it here

There is an 8% back on eBay bucks now on order over $50, so that's good too. Are you an eBay bucks member??

 

[Panhead5496]

The new TC got here today

I had a hard time swallowing $19 for one lug nut, so I went looking at autoparts stores for one. After getting 2 guys to help me, we finally found one that I just tested and it works! It was under $3 to boot!

This afternoon I will get it all set up on the Baja

I have a lot of those lug nuts if anybody wants some. Can you confirm for me the thread size/pitch?
