Do you have a link so others can loom it up? I'm in the market for a transfer case.

I have seen quite a few things that are clearly rc4wd pieces labeled as just no name Chinese........I have no proof but my gut tells me they are the same pieces .....rc4wd isn't manufacturing all.their stuff and alot of times it take a Chinese amount of time to get something shipped from them.....theres a $30 tcase from china that looks just like.the gcm one too

[stevetate12]

Again I have no proof ....I have also seen what looks like.rc4wd boxes with different names.on em....kits only.sold.over there

[scalemadness]

I completely agree the photos when compared to the helios transfer case are way too eerily alike to be coincidence even the vague description matches

[stevetate12]

Yeah my guess is that rc4wd get alot of neat scale stuff outta china ....prolly only a few companies that make the stuff

Well i received my t-case awhile ago now and have installed it in my truck it came properly shimmed and was greased better than my stock tf2 t-case i did swap the shaft bearings to sealed ones but other than that it is of good quality and shifts smoothly at half the price of the name brand t-case.

Got any photos of it all fitted up? I wanna see how it gets set up for the shifting. Thanks

I ordered one of these to see for myself, the plan is to put it behind the 2 speed trans in my TF2 just to see what its capable of. If that turns out to be a bust it'll end up in my Blazer project behind the RC4WD v8 and scale trans. The transfer case should be here in a week if all goes well w/ shipping

received the transfer case today, smooth and shifts well, looks just like the Helios to me. Now to get busy mounting it behind the 2 speed trans and figuring out shifting....

I really like the look of this T-case and love the price even more. Keep up updated as to how well it holds up please.

This is an old thread, but I couldn't find any threads of the progress of this. I'm trying to decide on doing the same thing, how did it work out for you?

[whiplash]

well, it didn't work out well at all behind the 2 speed trans. total slopfest...

sorry to dig this old thread. This transfer case is nice. How are you doing the shifting?
