T3 Metal Idler and Diff Gear??

Post by **mainesrc10** » Tue Feb 22, 2011 9:55 pm

Hey guys, I have a rc10T3 converted to brushless, and am lookin for metal trans gears (Idler and Diff). Also possibly spur gear, metal as well. Anyone know who makes these? Thanks

Anyone? I know robinson makes some, but only see them for t4. Are they the same?

No, the Robinson one is actually for a GT ( same 2.60 gear though ) the T3 is a 2.40 tranny
also HG made some alloy gears for the 2.40, but good luck finding them

Where do I find HG? Is the gears the same as the t4? Thanks

t4 - 2.60

lol! So nobody does anymore huh? What would cause the idler and diff gear to stripping out?

poor bearings, excessive full throttle starts, slipper clutch not adjusted correctly, dirty transmission
etc

Havent been doing full throttle starts, but am waiting for the bearings to upgrade all the bushings. Do u think bearings over bushings will help the stripping of gears? Also do u think my slipper is to tight?

IDK about your specific slipper setting but it is one of the possible causes or part of the equation anyway, and the bushings cause more resistance than bearings, which is more drag which is like having a bunch of power flow through something that is free spinning ( my 2.40 will spin for 2 full minutes being hand spun with no slipper) vs having it make 1 revolution before stopping-

K thanks, Just waitin for the bearings that i ordered. Will try those and prob loosin up the slipper some. Just noticed that it is real tight, prob not slippin at all. U think this is a good start?
