Parts for 8.18 conversion from 8.45 on my Stratus

[bkervaski]

Anyone know what parts needed for this?

[WayneBrown]

Ratio plates, and a 90T main gear.
You CAN modify the 8:45 plates to work on the 90T gear, but it's faster and easier to change to the right plates.

That's it? Just the 90T and the ratio plates? That's easy ... Thanks!

[WayneBrown]

that's it, but you still have to pull the mainshaft out, and unscrew the gear.. ;)
I cheat, I already have an autohub setup with crown gear, 90T and ratio plates for the day I decide to go back to OS..

Can I do just the "outer" gear? It's only $25 vs $100 for the whole gear assembly.

And do you know if I have to call to get the plates? The part numbers from the manual don't show up on the MA website.

I forgot the motor Plates, my bad. I don't know what number for the SZ, sorry.

You can change just the main gear, you don't have to change everything, I just happen to have an extra auto hub and crown gear already made up.

Thanks again! Found the parts on ronlund.com, hopefully they have them in stock. I'm just happy I don't have to split the frames.
