The web site for Gohbee says the Gohbee main gear is not compatible with the stock Thunder Tiger auto hub. Is the stock Thunder Tiger main gear compatible with this conversion?
Thanks

The Gohbee one way housing on the main shaft is bigger in diameter than a Raptor to avoid all of the locked one way problems that Raptor had. Therefore the main gears are not interchangeable.
The conversion kit comes with everything you need to do the conversion.

I understand the Raptor Main gear is not compatable with the Gohbee one way hub. My question is, is the Raptor Main gear compatable with the new tail boom bracket that comes with the conversion because I eventualy will be using the Quick UK auto rotation hub and I'm sure the main gear from Gohbee is not compatable with that.

The tail is not driven from the main gear.
It is the gear under the main gear that drives the tail.
The conversion kit comes with a new tail drive gear.
The Raptor has an 86 tooth tail gear which is the same part as the 86 tooth main gear from a Stinger or Raptor 30. The belt drive tail uses an 85 tooth tail drive gear which is the same part as the main gear from a Stinger or Raptor 50.
I hope that answers what I think you are asking.
As far as the QUK hub, It theoretically should work with the belt drive tail but it has not been tested.
