i havent blown it up so they work, just a real pita to line them up!

So... does 3sx have a reply for this post? I'm very keen to get my hands on these gears.

Thanks for the how to. But I want to know a little more about them, like what was mentioned in gltasn's post.

Any chance of these slipping? If so, any tips on keeping them tight? I was thinking of using some longer bolts and then putting a nut and a lock washer on the back side.

firts of all i love 3sx that being said i was kinda miffed when they arrived. i had the car torn down and ready so i put them in. you can see in the pics one sprocket has 3-4 lines and another has 2. only one had the line on the inside of the cog making lining it dead on the others are close as i can get. my engine hasnt blown but i would have like to see higher quality and wished they all were as easy to line up as the one good one was.

kinda hard to see but top pic show cog with 2 very defined hash marks. 2 pic shows the cog with 3 1/2 lines. if you can figure out how to view in actual size they are 9.1 megapixle and show better at size.

I just think it's poor that 3sx hasn't even replied to this in their OWN SECTION! lol

Sorry about that. We have been out at SEMA and just got back.

Yes, we were disappointed on some of the markings on the gears and we met up with the manufacturer last night to discususs face to face with them.

They are to be marked better on next batch we receive, which will probably be a couple of months. As far as slipping we have not seen any issues of this with these gears like we have seen previously on all the other gears out there like the Fidanzas and UR's- hopefully these will prove to be a superior design.

Thanks for everyones support and sorry for the rocky start.
