The Willspeed W3052 Schumacher LD3 5‑Gear Gearbox Conversion delivers a precision aluminium casing and enclosed gear cover to bring #5gear performance to your buggy. This variant is casing and cover only, without idler gears. Suggested compatibility: Schumacher LD3 platform.

Overview

Developed to enhance corner speed on medium to high traction tracks, this conversion relocates the motor +21mm forward compared to the standard position. The design maintains the same gear size as the standard LD3, supporting the use of Schumacher gears or WS PEEK gears.

Key Details

  • Motor relocated +21mm forward for improved balance and corner speed in higher grip conditions.
  • Higher tooth-count idler selection concept maximises efficiency and durability, notably with the 32dp pitch used on the LD3 platform.
  • Retains the original gearbox top for quick differential access.
  • Casing halves manufactured from 6082 aluminium for rigidity and precision alignment.
  • Enclosed gear cover manufactured from nylon.
  • Casing and cover only; no idler gears are included with part number W3052.

Installation Notes

  • Due to the motor relocation, the spur gear position also moves; the bodyshell must be cut around the enclosed gear cover.

Willspeed, the home of #5gear are pleased to release our first drop fit 5 gear gearbox casing/conversion on the Schumacher LD3 platform. 

This is an inclusive conversion that includes two aluminium machined case halves, hardware and enclosed gear cover to fit that 5 gear goodness to your Schumacher LD3. 

The gearbox relocates the motor +21mm further forward compared to the standard location, a popular setup option in modern off road buggy racing for improving corner speed in medium to high traction scenarios. 

We have selected the idler gear size to maximise efficiency and reliability, maintaining a higher tooth count provides a fuller tooth engagement, notably even more so on the 32dp gear pitch that Schumacher uses. 
Maintaining the same gear size as the standard LD3 also allows choice between using Schumacher's gears or our own WS PEEK gears. 

The design retains the use of the original gearbox top to maintain the quick diff access. 

Please note, due to the relocation of the motor, this also relocates the spur gear, meaning the bodyshell must be cut around our included enclosed gear cover. 

Gearbox halves manufactured in 6082 Aluminium.
Gear cover manufactured from Nylon.
