china transmission?

Is this trans any good? Transmission Case Center Gearbox for 1 10 RC Crawlers Cars Axial SCX 10 AX10 | eBay

a guy on facebook posted one he bought the other day, I had him open it up to check out the internals, it all looks pretty damn decent. I cant say at all how durable the gears and outputs are but it actually looked ok. I was looking at one too but I decided on Robinson racing gears and stock trans case instead.

I was looking to build a truck for my nephew. If the gears go they can be replaced. I just would hate to let the kid down if it broke down all the time.

[m0nster]

all axial compatible internals should fit. it has all steel gears inside and a 1 pic machined lower gear and output

I bought the 2 speed transfer case from that seller then the rc4wd helios the two were identical and quality and reliability has been great on the china knockoff no matter what any fanboys tell you

I actually got a chanquish tranny in the mail the other and I'm fairly impressed! Yet to open it up and inspect the internals!

[microcrawlers]

anyone know whether these hold up to big power like holmes/castle/tekin on a 4s?

[vwmopar]

Well I'm about to find out micro.

Do you have a link to the one you purchased?

[jebster]

anyone have pics of the internals? just curious if I could add an extended output shaft to this. want to replace a wraith tranny but need the added length.

Not a bad price for an alloy tranny, curious about if it does have all steel gears and if it'll fit my Wraith?

[rstekeur]

It doesn't look bad for the price. It's hit or miss with stuff coming out of China. Some is decent quality and some is just junk.

updates?

[vwmopar]

I haven't ordered one yet. I will update when I do probably soon.

I have one that I bought for my daughter's truck. They are pretty nice considering they cost about the same as a take off stock SCX10 trans.

The good: Steel gears are much stronger than stock Axial gears, the steel slipper eliminator is bomb proof, the aluminum case is nice enough, everything spins very smooth, it is cheap

The bad: The gears require shimming since they have a good bit of side to side play, the bearings are cheap, different topshaft is required if you want to run a slipper, included gear cover rubbed on my driveshaft joints

Overall, it is a good buy. I don't know the limits of the abuse it can handle since I have it installed in a rather light and slow truck. For a heavy abuse truck with big power, I would still build a trans from better components.
