Associated RC300 Gear Drive Differential...

Post by rooster »

Hey, I acquired one these differentials several years ago and just recently realized what I had. I own several RC300BD's cars, but now I would like to set this up on one of my cars. Does any one have any literature, exploded views or photo's of one of these differentials installed. I would like to see that I have all the parts to complete the installation.

Thanks...

I think there are some photo's somewhere in the AE on-road section. If I can find them I will post them. Can you post pictures of what you have? The original one that AE sold was made by AMP's of the UK. After a while Gene and Roger made their own and marketed it for a short time, but then they came up with the ball diff because of cost of the manufacturing the gear diff. Yokomo also marketed a version of the diff but it was probably just the AMP's version rebadged as they did that back then quite a bit. Here's a couple of pic's of the Associated version.

Also found pic and an article in French on the AMP's version.

Hope this helps, sure would love to see what you have.

Great! What I have is the version from your first two photo's posted. What I have is a assembled differential, some spare parts and a couple of hubs. I thinking that because the housing is a larger diameter than a standard axle, I need to find a larger bearing to fix into r/h bearing block.

I photograph what I have this coming week and post it up...

Thanks for all you help with identifying what I have.
