I just found another blast from the past, in one of my boxes.
It is the 48 Pitch 6 Gear tranny made for the old housing. Notice in the picture below the transmission on the left is the 32 Pitch standard transmission with the black upgrade gears, while the one on the right is the 48 Pitch tranny with the Jammin' Products thrust assembly (upper thrust bearing set inside) and with the spring-less tension adjust for the differential. The tension nut has 4 beveled washers for a more consistant tension onto the diff hub. I still have both of these tranny's, luckily.
Man thats nice, I tried getting a set of 48p dirt burners conversion someone had up but it went over $50 and i just couldnt justify buying it! Its ashame to because it looks so nice. Do you notice the difference running the 48p trans over the 32p?
Back when I used to run it, YES! The 48 Pitch tranny was alot smoother and the power usage was more efficient, allowing better times with the batteries .
That's a pleasure to find somebody getting all his old stuff. We are so many to put it out.
Don't remind such thing to Craig Dresher, he turn crasy to the idea of what he put to the garbage during his last move !
Is this something you can tell by looking or at least comparing them?
The spur & pinion I've installed in OptiMutt--with Robinson Racing spurs--uses a pinion with tiny teeth shown on the left. To the right is something else, and in the middle is...

you can actually measure the pitch by measuring between teeth pretty easily as well. but you need to measure at the root of the tooth.
32 pitch, well, 32 teeth to 1 inch, so 1/32 between teeth. this is for diametrical pitch gears.
Should be smoother but I can't say how much of a benefit the Thorp 64p gears actually produced. Main reason for using 64p gears is you can fine tune gear ratios...but that doesn't really come into play with the gears inside the transmission, only...
Can anyone tell me what the gear pitch is on a stealth transmission? I’m converting a Championship Edition to brushless, and wanting to get a few pinion gears to try out. Thanks for any info.

Sounds great Frankentruck, thanks for the reply. I’m a newbie at this and learning as I go. Thanks again.
i got a deal on a kyosho outrage with a bad pinion gear..will any 32pitch gear work??i ask cause the kyosho pinions look different and i know tamiya 48 pitch is not like rc10 48 pitch..are any 32pitch gears like this or is all 32pitch gears the...

mmmm, 2 pinions, with how many teeth each?
Gears with few teeth always mesh with more friction than larger diameter ones i have 2 15t pinions 1 gold kyosho 1 silver from another car?both gears are a bit worn.the kyosho seems to be a bit bigger plus...
Howdy
Looking for a diagram or instruction for the 48 pitch gear internal conversion for the old six gear. I think MIP made it but I could be mistaken. Trying to breath life back into an old friend. Thanks

I have the complete thorp 48p setup and the outdrive bearing mod (with inner bearing removal from outdrives) in my red pan/American flag rc10 build. There are faqs on it in the temple tech section if you search.
I am currently working on the CAD to create my own RC10 custom gearbox with readily available internals. In my search for a diff with a gear 45T or smaller I found the Cougar Laydown diff which is available as dall as well...

I have been 3d printing gears for the cougar 2000 and can now say it is not 48dp and actually 0.5MOD.
A while ago I won these 48 pitch gear sets made by trinity for the ultima & optima. I'm thinking of using one in my ultima runner but am having difficulties figuring out the gear ratio. Surely a gear ratio table existed but it didn't come with...

A larger spur allows you to use smaller pinions and still reach the spur. Doing so will bring the final ration for both closer agian, so that makes sense.
My guess: the overdrive kit was intended for stock moters.
