RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I posted a couple years ago about having some issues with my RC10GT that I converted to brushless. It just would not put the power down. I drive mostly on the street just fooling around and that ball diff would inevitably chirp and get gritty after a couple hours and require a rebuild.

So I just decided I had enough and replaced it with a gear diff. I decided to use the all-aluminum upgrade option for the TLR 22 series. It's 100% metal, no plastic parts, planetary gear style. The problem was that it didn't fit cause it's wider and also has 1 less tooth (51T versus 52T on the GT) and uses metric bearings. Luckily they are both 48 pitch gears. I also took the opportunity to integrate the motor mount.

Thought you'd enjoy this stuff...

You made that gearcase?

Yeah! It wasn't too bad and you can see I didn't put any effort into weight savings haha.

Definitely thought about it, but when it comes time to do stuff I just want to get it done and not worry about camera position, lighting, etc. It can easily double the time it takes to do things.

Maybe I will try it next time Whenever the GT needs new parts haha.

I bet....prolly more, johnnyq takes 5 or 6 weeks to put out a 13min video. But fun watching guys like u who can make those parts!
