RPM Tranny

[craigc8791]

I recently purchased this tranny http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXEV49&P=7 but I have no idea what gears to put inside. Mainly what has me confused is on another post I came across it has completely diffrent internals from a stealth tranny. Any Ideas of what goes in there?

That post if for an MIP. You have an RPM which are two completely different animals. Switch out the gears outta your rc10t/rc10 stealth and your are good to go.

For this transmission, all you need is a complete stealth 2.25 diff, bearings, idler gear and slipper assembly. Oh and the mounting screws too.

Yup! I just built 2,...ALL 2.25.....except I put T3 slippers on them....JohnnySr

So if I use the stealth tranny to build this one, then how does it go from 2.25 to a 2.61 tranny??

there's less teeth on the rpm topshaft.

there's less teeth on the rpm topshaft.

which by the way is a lot more aggressive on the idler gear...
also some cases are not molded equally and i have noticed that some of them will build more friction in the center and this can cause the idler teeth to strip or shatter

But I can still use the b4 top shaft with b4 slipper right?

[Charlie don't surf]

not unless you mod the top shaft by pressing the gears off an older B4 stealth shaft ( not the chinese one ) and re-installing the RPM gear on the B4 top shaft.

Sorry to post something not completely related to the original topic.

I just picked up a B4.1 slipper assy to add to my B3 rebuild. I'm guessing it's a Chinese one. Problems ahead?

shouldn't be. your swapping the entire topshaft, not changing the gears on them.
