Talking RC-10 tranny in a crawler?

Anyone try and old school Rc-10 tranny for a crawler? I searched but didn't see much at all. I have 3 or 4 of them from the old days, early eighties and was thinking of trying one out. Any thoughts or expeirances?

Depends on which RC10 tranny you are talking about. The original tranny is too weak. The idler gears strip out all the time.

I run a b3 stealth tranny in my tlt, and I love it.
you can also drill out maxx yokes and use sliders with them.

I run an associated t2 tranny. It's a great tranny. There has been lots of posts on the associated trannies btw. I'll have to do a search here in a min. to get ya some links.

The tranny is great, very tuff. I've had no problems with mine.

I bet you could get your old stuff to work. Mine came from an rc10 t2.

I have no clue what tranny the rc10t was though.

The way you can find out if it is a newer one is to open it up. If it has 6 gears its an older version and is not worth the amount of loose change in your pocket, but if it has 3 gears go ahead and use it. Parts are still available due to the fact that associated shares a lot of their parts with their other trannies.

I used a T10 stealth tranny in my first crawler over two years ago.

I'm thinking of using one again in my TLT crawler. Hard to beat a good quality tranny like associated or Losi...

yo dont need to open it up to find the diff, the 6gear has a MUCH bigger and blockier looking case.

the stealth is really compact, and you can see the outlines of the 3 gears inside since the case is pretty much molded around them, its pretty organic looking compared to the old 6gear. 6gear also had a ball slipper for the spur, stealth has friction disks.
