The RPM website still lists the transmission.

Might need to buy a spare just in case.

I exploded mine, so I'll probably never buy another one. :mrgreen:

It's bad enough ebay sellers sold them for more than the price of new ones before, so I'm waiting to see what they'll fetch now. :roll:

Maybe RPM is going to melt them all down and start making other RC10 parts in translucent white.

Yeah most everyone is just running on whats left on their shelves. I had one bought on eBay and got a message it was no longer available. Pretty sure that store buys as they sell. I hate overpaying but at this point i just really need to buy one or wait for an stealth case to become available cheap- and that ain't gonna happen :(

Why were these tranny conversions still produced in translucent white but A arms and other stuff that is still available isn't? were the tranny cases left over product from the 90's?

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Better pick up your shorty bumpers and suspension arms while you can.
