    Great for the track and scootin around town but don't plan on getting on the highway with it. No reserve...I'd say go for it. Might get an awesome deal.

    I don't know if it is a good thing or what but I bought a new mini spool today from o reilly for $24.99+ tax. They quoted me $225.99+ tax for new 4.11 gears. Should I get that? Will that be all I need or should I also get a bearing and seal kit?

    So I started putting the two pieces together and decided I would consult the :mmb2:...
    Is there anything else I should do before I actually put the nuts on? Any suggestions on applying grease on anything, or silicone here and there? How about the plates? Do I reeeally need a gasket?
    Any of you have any luck finding the bearings and seals as a complete kit for both sides? Now I am even thinking axles, hmmm...$$$:(...?
