Willspeed Schumacher LD3 5 Gear Gearbox Conversion - With 3 x W3097 WS PEEK Idlers and Bearings

The Willspeed W3098 Schumacher LD3 5 Gear Gearbox Conversion — supplied with 3 x W3097 WS PEEK idlers and bearings — brings Willspeed’s #5gear architecture to modern off-road buggy racing. Engineered with suggested compatibility for the Schumacher LD3 platform, this inclusive conversion relocates the motor +21mm forward to help increase corner speed in medium to high traction, while retaining quick diff access via the original gearbox top.
