| Re: A deeper look within the Redcat Everest 10 crawler
So I have my E10 now and started on the scale crawler conversion. I have rebuilt the front axle with the iron cross, axle tubes, and metal hubs and knuckles. I popped the tranny open and found all plastic gears. :( Anyone know of replacements for them? Thanks a bunch! Last edited by UberJeep; 03-02-2016 at 06:21 AM. |

Not sure about the gears. Interestingly, I haven't read a single complaint about the tranny. So either it works good, or my search skills stink. | |

Yeah I don't remember reading anything negative about the tranny so you're probably safe there. I'm planning to add iron crosses, remove the foams, adjust the shocks and ride height, de-anodize the chassis, brace the rear axle with delrin, move the battery forward and low, sipp and de-lug the tires, mirror the tranny to minimize torque-twist and keep a set of Traxxas driveshafts handy in case the stockers bite the dust, but otherwise keep it stock until I find a nice New Bright body to put on it. Then I'll add a delrin chassis and lights to round things off nicely.

I'm still running the e10 tranny in my scale e10 and its working fine, I do plan on swapping in an axial tranny soon, but there's no pressing reason to do so.

Still running the stock gearbox on mine for the last 2 years. Opened it up recently snd found them still in perfect condition. Regreased and put back together. No idea of scx10 gears will fit. But the gearbox itself will fit if you slot 2 holes. E10 trans has 4 screws all the same width. Scx10 has 2 the same as e10 and 2 narrower. I'm running an e10/hsp trans on an axial scx10 chassis and skid with 2 holes slotted. The same can be done in reverse.

I've got 2 rigs with E10 transmissions and haven't had a single issue yet, but I'm only running a 20T, 27T motor's and 2s.

I have not run 3S through mine either. It has had many motors ranging from a 12T 550 to the stock 60T 540. All driven by my 4yr old son who is not light on the throttle. I have my doubts about plastic gears on 3S and a lathe/rebuilable motor. I would fit an scx10 trans with alloy or metal gears for that setup.

I was looking at my tranny and i dont see a way to mirror it. I mounted the tranny and motor to my sensored ESC and noticed when I trigger it the motor turns into itself i.e weighs itself down which is bad especially cause it's a juicy 4 pole D wound 550. For some reason even with a program card switching to reverse doesnt do anything. | |

I'm not sure what you mean that the motor turns into itself. Does it spin or not? I not, the mounting screw may be too long and keeping the motor from spinning. Try removing the motor from the tranny to see if it spins up. If it still doesn't spin, you may have to swap one of the 3 motor wires with another one, unplug the sensor wire or start it by hand because it's cogged (it's been a long time since I played with brushless so I may be remembering wrong). | |

Haha total miscommunication; the motor torque steers counter clockwise facing the pinion. I'd rather it spin the other way to fight its weight. | |

| Re: A deeper look within the Redcat Everest 10 crawler Can't it's a sensored motor. He'll have to mirror the trans. If he reverses the motor direction it will drive in reverse so it will still torque twist going forwards. Unless you reverse the motor and flip the skid. Best option is mirror the trans.

I found a metal housing here and metal gears Aluminum Upgrade Parts Center Gear Box Mount for 1/10 AXIAL SCX10 RC Electric 90022 90028 90035 Jeep Wrangler-in Parts & Accessories from Toys & Hobbies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group Steel Drive Transmission Straight Gears Set Black Stainless Steel RC Car Upgraded Part For Axial Locked SCX10-in Parts & Accessories from Toys & Hobbies on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group But there's nothing wrong with either and I dont want to spend more honestly. Also I know the motor mount plate will not match up because I saw a GPM aluminum scx10 plate on sale and ordered it. I can always drill it i guess; it is much nicer looking and sturdier though. | |

I've never mirrored a trans but I assume the shaft is stepped or captive on the bearing or similar so it won't come out the other way. There is usually a pin through the top gear and shaft.

Hi, new to the hobby. Read this thread from start to finish back in January. Got the E10 week or 2 ago. Getting one for my son on Easter. Reread different parts of the thread a few times, read it all again today, pleased to see 7 more pages since I last went all the way to the end. Keep up the good work that keeps giving me lots of ideas. After I play with it stock for a bit I'm hoping to stretch a custom frame and make a scale version of my 89 F350 Centurion Bronco. Thanks again for a great read!

| Re: A deeper look within the Redcat Everest 10 crawler 7.3L IDI Diesel 1 ton 4 door Bronco. It looks a little different now, dropped the running boards and took care of some body rust this last fall. redoing some of the interior and working my way slowly to the outside. I was hoping I could get two of the proline Bronco bodies and splice them together. Maybe with some laminating layers on the inside using styrene I can make it a bit more rigid and use some styrene/filler to build up around the B pillars where I would be adding on the second cab. I suppose fiber glass or more specifically the resin would melt the lexan. |
