I mean besides the Mod 1 and Mod .8 gears in some nitros.

Am I correct in thinking Tamiya is using Imperial 48p for their diffs nowadays?

Hi guys. Im trying to fab up a slipper clutch for a Kyosho Lazer. I think its possible to use the B4 spur type, with the hex shaped slipper pads. I would like to find spur gears in metric size, meaning the center hole in a metric size. This way its...

First post

I've always greased the plastic & or metal gears within the gearbox case of all my R/C cars (unless belt driven) - ever since my first Tamiya Hornet - through to my current 2wd off road racer.

But I know not everyone does & indeed it is not usually...

Last post

I believe the stealth is what they call self lubricating and does not need lubrication( gears to gears), lubrication can induce bind during free wheel.

Personally i dont put grease onto my tranny only to bevel grears.

[My roommate has a Losi XXT-CR, and while he was rebuilding the transmission, and I was rebuilding the stealth in my 10T, I noticed he was lubricating the teeth of the internal transmission gears (top, idler, and diff gear) with a lubricant of waxy...

The waxy lube is probably the AC1001 shown here:

I used it, and still have a little tub from 1995 or so. It did seem to add a little extra life to my GT's transmission when I started running the TOP/Novarossi motors. :shock:

Maybe a simple question, but one that gets conflicting answers. Has anyone yet put the new gears in and older car? I dont mind if some machine work is involved but I dont need to spend $$$ on parts that have no way of fitting :)

Last post

Yes, it is way easier to go that route:

I have a two year old now and have gotten back into RC. I have my old childhood rc10 B3. I put in a brushless motor with amazing results but I would like to beef up the necessary bits for handling the new power. Advice is much appreciated 😊

Last post

For retro racing I upgraded my B3 to a b4 top shaft and slipper assembly, it's a straight swap and takes the strain out the single slipper pad that comes in the kit.
