I installed a pair of heavy duty steel outdrives for my AX10 transmission, the outdrives ended up being too heavy duty and put stress on my tranny's "diff" gear causing it to warp affecting the tranny gears alignment.

To fix this I installed a Team Associated RC10GT hardened aluminum diff gear from Robinson Racing (part no. 1513). As it turns out the RC10GT's diff gear is identical to the AX10's "diff" gear, both are the same number of teeth, pitch, thickness and width. Also the RC10GT diff gear has the same number and size of the holes on the AX10 so no drilling is required. It seemed like such a good tip I felt compelled to share it.

Nice tip. What about the other gears? I've often wondered if they'd fit. I wasn't going to buy a set just to try it though.

I'm having a hard time understanding how the steel outputs made the gear warp though. Got any pics? I'm running 4130 outputs in 2 trannies and 303 stainless outputs in another.....no issues at all.

thanks for the tip...

just for clarification, i was thinking of replacing the stock outdrives with steel ones. and when i do i should replace the stock diff gear with a Team Associated RC10GT hardened aluminum diff gear from Robinson Racing (part no. 1513). how much does it cost?

Great tip.

I am building my rock racer now and the big brushless may not have liked the stockers.

Good find thanks for sharing.

Take a look at a stealth trans a then look at a axial. Its the same trans just a little bit different case.

Unfortunately the other gears don't fit. What is more unfortunate is that I don't have any pics of the warped gear, what I think contributed to the warped gear is the fact that it's turning TXT-1 axles and 40 series tires.

I think mine cost $22 or so.

Well that sucks about the other gears. I'm curious about the stealth tranny gears someone mentioned above. Sad thing,I had 5 Stealth trannies with all the steel upgrades...and sold them after I bought my Axial trannies.

I wish I had them so I could test fit the gears.

As far as the warpped gear,that does make a bit more sence. I honestly would see it stripping out before a warp though. I've been beating my Axial tranny all year in my super. I ran a 14" WB most of the year in this rig...BLACK14r Later in the year,I used the same rig,just up'ed the WB to 18" and ran my 40 series hybrid Badlands. The plastic gears lasted a good while before I stripped the main gear. Upgraded to the aluminum gears and it's been golden.

Woah raptorman57 thats a sharp rig!

Very clean looking, I'm diggin the narrowed mashers. Actually before I got my TXT-1 axles I was stongly cosidering running twin force axles from RCP, but the deal I found on TXT-1's was just to hard to refuse. Also you would think that the screws holding on the outdrives would shear their around the gear, but the outdrives I purchased were a full 1/2" longer than stock ones I think the exessive length gave a bit of leverage to help warp the gear, just a guess though.

P.S. I bet you clean up good in comps!
