    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    Are both plates tapped/threaded? I don’t remember from when I installed mine. If only one is tapped it would be a problem.

    check time stamp 2:48, the adapter plate is installed backwards. The welds are doing all the work now instead of clamp load.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    thanks for the info, I installed my cruise control and wired in the service brake discrete to the ECM, I was noticing that the pacbrake would not work while cruise control switch is on but speed is not set. I will have to go in and find those setting to change it.

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    It seems like driving with the 2:1 reductions hubs is like flying with your flaps down, it provides some lift benefits but it produces a lot of drag. Once it is cleaned up the airplane becomes faster but more slippery and is harder to slow down. The pac brake is less effective because the...

    I recently installed my ECO hubs. Install, he process was pretty straight forward, removed bevel gears, retorqued spindle nut, installed split collars, installed adapter plates, then installed the hubs. The part I spent a while was trimming the snap ring for the rear axle, I used a file and a...

    ECO Hubs Who needs 3:07 gears?

    How does the hub nut lock without the gears? The torque is less then 20ft lbs Also the torque from the axle is transmitted through the hub splines. Looks like your design the torque is applied directly to the wheel hub gear carrier attach bolts. I would imagine the design may be strong enough...
