I don't know if the Ridgecrest transmission is like the SCX-10 or the Wraith. If it's like the SCX-10, buy Robinson Racing #1541 & #1542. Put those in (with enough lube), close it up, and forget about it.

I gave you the part numbers for the SCX-10 tranny gears. I think that is the transmission the Ridgecrest runs. Grease is a whole other thread all together. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic (red) grease. |

Go ahead and order the idler gear. Those two metal gears will eat that little idler for lunch. If you get into a bind, don't throttle out.
