| I am going to Upgrade my Tranmission I need input !
Yesterday I had stripped the output gear cause I had my slipper set too tight while running a brushless motor & lipo battery I want to upgrade my transmission. I am tossed up weather I should run hardened steel gears from Hot racing with the stock the plastic case, or Would I be better off running a The all metal trans from CKRC. that includes the Metal case. When I do upgrade I will be going to a 32P Pinion/Spur also. I would appreciate some advise from those who have upgraded their Transmissions. Last edited by Tom95YJ; 02-19-2012 at 01:50 PM. |

I run Robinson racing gears in a stock case and have had no more tranny failures.It's in a honcho on 2.2's powered by a 23turn motor on a 3cell.

i don't think you can mirror any of the aluminum cases if you ever decide to do that. was a factor in my decision.

the rpp gears are definitally worth the cash and work just fine and dandy for a true upgrade, the steel output shafts only add a sliver more metal for added strength, silly idea imo. should of done what rpp did for the additional part axial could of made a few bucks lol. oh well. depends on whether you really got the extra $$ to fork out, the added metal would be extra weight as well. adding weight to the axles is def +++ as well, where as the transmission is pretty high, adding extra weight to it does not effect the tipping point but it still does effect the CoG regardless.

Thanks for the input, With all of the replys with you guys running RRP it looks like I will be going with RRP Gears and keep the stock case. Thanks ! |

I run the Hot Racing steel gears (all 3 in a set) I was impressed for the price.. Then adding the Axial steel outputs and it's pretty solid. I don't like the one piece Robinson output gear.. Especially if you were to convert to the thru-pin design of the new Axial driveshafts or the Mips for that matter..
