The Teedee I got for my Jerobee has a 10 teeth pinion and that corresponds with a 54 teeth driven gear.

All the best with the new toy when it arrives!

Hey! It’s not a toy! It’s a precision machine designed for adults, it even says not for beginners on the box!

Sorry, I was rehearsing what I am going to say to my wife

Ok, that helps some, at least I know what to look for on the clutch. Yes TD power as that would be easier since that heat sink was designed around it. Thank you.

I certainly will Bob. I forgot I need one of those! I could certainly scare up a nice Babe Bee in trade if you want to go that route.

No, you cannot! Gears differ in size depending on number of teeth. Each pinion corresponds to a given axle gear as the distance between the engine axis and the rear axle is fixed. And second, the chosen combination for an engine set up depends on the revs that that engine makes. Don McKay knew what he was doing.

Hum mabe don wil be interested in m'y desing y did couple test wit gear on the tee dee let me say it al dépends track conditions  u run  som time bether gear low


Just dremel the hole and cut in the rear block for the flywheel its posible the way the tee dee is mount made ready for tuning y no way more than just ....lol  m'y desing made To beat old cox gtp and the jerobee m'y is in curent production Not old parts just new No weak old parts

And soon y want To build m'y own clutch and flywheel for tee dee .09 .049 .020 couple prototype part made m'y self just need machinistes late and miling saving mony for the project

It’s in my hands now, better than I expected, it certainly is missing some things, but otherwise in good shape. The chassis damage is localized to that one area and will be easy to repair.

If anyone has any parts laying around I am all ears. The front wheel and entire clutch assembly is the main thing needed at this point. Not sure how the steering is supposed to work, pretty sure something is missing.

Anyway here are the pictures!

Nice Ron. Glad it arrived safely, and that it is in decent condition. But most importantly that you are happy with it.

Thanks Chancey. Yeah it should be fun as long as I can get the parts to run it. My little dead end street was newly paved this year and it would make a great track.

Tink the Front wheel that is mising is kind rare that set of wheels complète y have Find two new Front wheel without the tire new in pakage and never found the rear one new y tink wit them cars look bether and wheels base larger wit them hope u Find its mising parts if y se Somting jerobee y tells you in pm as y look for them twice a day for cox related parts in case y found cheap buy it now stuf y can use y se u have the engine one of the Most important parts look Good

That looks excellent; with box and papers!! The chassis damage frightnened me but if you can see to repair it, that's great.

I recommend to replace the front bumper. The Alfa body is in good shape and you better protect it. You can get the standard white bumper or the later black Lightning 2000 bumper, that will fit straight on.





I see that you have the track rod but not the drag link. That's easy to make from piano wire. It looks like this. Don't take any notice of the Bolink name, the part is the same)



For the front wheels, The chrome ones that were standard on the top of the range Alfa come up on ebay but are hard to find. The wheel rims are part nr 614 and the complete wheel set and tyres is nr 618.



If your not fuzzy about originality, or to get the car going, mount some Lightning 2000 wheels with the oilite bearings. Allways mount hard sponge tyres  (for asphalt)  on the Teedee model and not the rubber ones. You will go straight ahead in corners. even with a Babe Bee powered model, you have to get off the throttle completely otherwise you go straight ahead.

Lightning 2000 front wheels:



Get the large body pins. They're easier to get on and off!!



Have you checked the number of teeth on the axle gear? It's written on the side. Then you'll need aluminium flywheel, clutch axle, weights, clutch housing and the small Sullivan tank that Bernie sells.

I have one request. Can you scan all the documents and the decal page so that Jacob can add them to the instructions page? That woud be nice, Thanks. Good luck with cleaning!!

Don McKay and I were combat buddies...He and I chatted a lot long distance...I was always fascinated with his car years

He passed April last year...here is one obit if you did not see it

Thanks Fred, I didn't know that. I remember asking you his email adress a while ago.



RIP Don

Lieven,

Thank you for all the photos and info, the part numbers will be really helpful going forward. I checked my drive gear and it says 56 does that mean I need a 12 pinion gear?

Right now I am working with a Jorgen Anderson. He is the guy who runs the Jerobee blog. He said he will have a look in the spare parts bin. Don’t know what he will come up with, but it’s a start.

I’ll see what I can do about scanning those things. I don’t have a scanner at home so I would have to do it at work.

Ron
