Whats a good upgrade trans for the scx10

[213inc]

I was thinking about swaping out my trans. My uncle ran a r2 trans in is gen1 custom ax10 and that thing always got the job done. im not sure what to go with for the scx10. Also whats the pros and cons of 2 speed trans

pro- you can have a go fast and really low crawling gear. can decrease motor temps if used properly.

con- adds to driveline slop and the scx-10 isnt much of a handler with speed. Or you can cook a motor if used improperly.


Personally I swapped in an Axial dig transmission case (ax-2/ wraith), dig unit, and steel internal gears. Works great and is more capable than a 2 speed will be. You can turn sharper, use the dig to get the front to grab on a climb, and have 2wd if you use the freewheel option.

I would just get steel gears

nothing wrong with the stock tranny.

two speed would be ridiculous for a crawler...
unless it were geared low and compound low. Lol/jmo

for the rock racer/bouncer... suppose reckless speed is a thrill Lol

volt up - gear down... torque rules

until you strip out the mounting holes...then its time for aluminum!

I went cheap through Asiatees and got a GCM tranny and metal gears for less than 40 bucks total, no problems so far, I don't trust all cheap china parts, but these seem to be fine, all parts fit together great and look good doing it

That's exactly what I did. I stripped the tranny mounts because I was taking it on and off too much. After I went to 3s I stripped the gears and just purchased a GPM aluminum trans from ebay and some steel gears from the same place.
