If you decided to build your own, all of the parts that we made bitd ( shock towers, trans braces etc ) were made what we called graphite and not carbon fiber.
The graphite material had no weave that was easily visible.
I cut an opening in mine and drilled and tapped the trans case so I could remove the screw in the trans and easily flush it between mains.
What year did AE use the black idler gear for the 1st generation grarbox? I know the first kits came out with the white gear but I do not know when they stopped using it.. Anyone? :)

the black idler gears were on the rc10 graphite released in 1989. the tq10 didnt have the updated idlers when it was released. they must be good gears because mine still look new and my car is still being raced today
I decided to pull out the 10T that has been a big contributer to my other build. As you can see there is not much left but it has everything I need to start my project. I machined my other car a bit different than the Worlds tub and I wanted to make...

Hey I know most of you hate the 6 gear tranny but for those like me that have to run them because you dont have Big $$$ for the stealths that are going for crazy prices on ebay (saw one yesterday end for 65$USD shipped :roll: )...I have some good...

WOW lots of info on the 6 gear!
Funny, one of my smoothest (although least efficient) 6 gears is fully bushed. I added bearings to the drive gears and later removed them. I didn't replace the felt seals and retainers as this rig stays on the road....
Just rebuilt my 6 gear tranny. I have a 54 tooth spur gear (64 pitch I think it is). What size pinion should I use for a stock motor? Also does anyone know what that Tranny gear ratio is?

I have always used 1.85 when figuring gear ratios out.
Your gearing is going to depend on the track your racing at, or if bashing, how much speed/runtime/heat your want or are getting.
54 @ 32 pitch = 81 @ 48 pitch (most all modern offroad cars...
I'm rebuilding an old 6 gear and want to put bearings throughout. Is there a top tip for removing the pressed on gears so I can replace the bushing behind the spur gear with a bearing. I want to do it without damaging anything
Thanks

remove the teflon bushing out of the dif. pinion. suport the back side of the dif. pinion . Use the correct size punch to gently tap the dif. tube out of the pinion. The pinion to dif. tube is a tapered joint and shouldnt take much to seperate. You...
I am tryin to get my trans back together and noticed alot of end play on the top shaft. I can move the spur gear in and out. Both the inserts for the bearings for the top shaft look the same and the smaller bearing sits in kinda deep. Am I using the...

I was playin with it while I was answering this post and found another gear in my stash that pressed on farther. It solved the issue for me. The tranny is a little tight but I can live with that. Thanks for the help. My Rc10 is closer to makin some...
