Hi,

The RPM trans uses its own top shaft, you cannot use any other top shaft.

With the RPM trans, you will have to use the B3/T3 slipper.

Scroll down the pages to see the exploded view of the T3.

The B3/T3 has a larger diameter slipper than the original RC10,

I am using the B3/T3 slipper on my 6.5T brushless runner.


If you want to use the B4/T4 top shaft and slipper you will need to use the Stealth Gearbox.

Cheers, Dave.

You can use the B4 slipper in the RPM trans you just have to put the RPM gear on the B4 shaft.. I used a gear puller I got from hobbyking for a few bucks. Worked a treat...http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__47761__Turnigy_Pinion_Removal_Tool_AUS_Warehouse_.html?strSearch=pinion%20remo

be careful with the RPM trans. If you are using the 2.65 unit, it has a smaller top gear, which has been known to wear more quickly than a stock stealth setup. Brushless will just accelerate that. Since it's no longer in production, you may have trouble keeping that trans in shape for racing.

Thank you for your replies. I decided to pull the gear off the RPM top shaft and put it on a B4 top shaft. I bent the first B4 shaft but now know how to do it properly. I have another one ordered.

I know this is not a practical solution but for aesthetics I want to keep the RPM tranny. The truck will be run very little. Thanks again!
