Just Wondering

Post by Whiskers »

What's with using 32 pitch gears? I would think you would stash those back, and get some 48's for your runners.

If there's something I'm missing, please tell me. :D

Sometimes you just gotta run watcha got or maybe people like running their cars with original parts. Its all good though, I use 48 pitch gears in all of my runners since they are more available and are a little smoother than 32 pitch gears.

He's an idiot. Comes from upbringing. His parents are probably idiots too.

Awesome for your 1/12th car! Wasn't the supplied RC10 gear 52T?

Also, beware of Tower's pictures... I ordered some 81T 48P spurs (the "Associated" kind without diff ball holes), they are now using repackaged Kimbrough gears.

Ordered:

Got:

Yeah, they'll work, but it was for a restoration not a runner. :(

I also ordered some of those 32P gears a few years ago, they were still in the old old Edinger packaging. :wink:

I have no idea what the stock gear was. I know what you mean about tower though. I bought the green screws for my stock and they sent me blue :(

Yeah, the 4-40 x 1" alloy screws they show as silver (RC10 Worlds Car transmission) are now blue also... :|
