Vanquish aluminum tranny housing

[Bajacaat]

Was thinking about getting the aluminum housing. Anyone tried it? My only concern is i like running in water and mud. Will there be a rust issue? Just wondering if i do the marine grease inside if it will hold up ok...

[sundayface]

The case won't rust it's aluminum. The gears though can, packing them with marine grease will do the trick and will not harm the case.

Ok im going to order one..my plastic one is starting to strip out and would be nice to screw into some metal..i'll add the marine grease to my rr gears.
Thanks!

Unless they're names you've scene or heard on here don't buy crap parts or it will bite you in the end. Any veteran builder will tell you buy the right one the first time.

Not trying to offend but thats pretty cheap. If you have the $20 to throw at it, try it. You never know. Then let us know how the experience goes :thumbup:

Looks almost identical to the VP version. Try it and let us all know. You might have found a true gem, or maybe just junk, but for the price.... Can it really hurt to try?

[Kitty]

will order one,i will et u know about the quality,from the picture it looks well,if the bearings fit,then should be no problem with it

I just got my VP case yesterday, they are slick! The RRP gears look real nice in it.

[Kitty]

i have a VP,but for this build i would prefer a cheapest one,since it will be kind of a bash,trail,mud truck

[raceeng18]

I'd try one for the $20.00 but the listing says shipper does not ship to the USA.

[Kitty]

sadly i saw that,just ordered mine,will see when it's getting here
