|  XR 10 Trans/ Gear Case Cover Up grades?
I know that Vanquish makes a lot of parts for the xr and I know there are a lot of tech articles on the xr, but I want to know what alternatives there are for the trans and gear case cover, axle upgrades, knuckles . I know the Vanquish has milled covers to add larger bearings; Who else makes a similar cover and line of tough upgrades. Comments ? Suggestions? Like I mentioned; I know VP makes this stuff , but I want to know of other manufactures or if some of you guys are milling your own stuff. Thanks Jason |

I like Axial's HD motorplate. It is nice and thick, and has a fully pocketed bearing seat. Rc4wd's bearing upgrade comes with large bearings for both the motor plate and gear case. HR is HR... I don't think a case upgrade is a must. At the very least, run an upgraded motor plate with big bearings & bushings everywhere else in the case. I personally run the Axial HD motor plate & traxxas bushings in stock cases. I do have the rc4wd bearing upgrade, but haven't seen the need to install them yet. |

Thanks for the Information.. I like the VP stuff as well. Just thought there might be something "better" or maybe " one off " that someone was making that I could use.

Like I mentioned, If you are going to spend the money... just do it once with VP stuff. I competed with stock stuff for several months. I modified my motor plate for 9mm bearings and the truck worked fine. When I eventually blew a 9mm bearing, I got the heavy duty stuff. Pdog used the VP bushing kit to replace the bearings with the stock cases and plates. He never had any failures. |
