Ball diff size?

Post by vwjuice »

I am not sure where to put this thread so PLEASE feel free too move it too the appropriate thread.

I need too replace the diff in my MRC mt-10s and I am wondering if someone can give me the measurements of the rc10T ball diff. I mainly just need too know the height and width of the completed unit.

I can't find a stock gear anywhere and if a RC10T ball diff will fit that would be great.

Are you serious???? Oh man Let me know what they have and I might just buy it all. I need body mounts as well. If they have any mrc bodies that would be sweet as well, although that's not a huge deal.

I think I remember arms, gear set, and maybe a chassis? It's been a few weeks and I wasn't looking for those parts so u just saw them while skimming thru. Not sure if I will make it down tomorrow or next Monday

Are you looking to use the gear too from a 10T diff or just the outdrives, rings, etc.?

If the gear fits I'd like too use it as well. A complete stealth diff would be ideal since parts are easy too get.

You'll need to match gear pitch then. Do you know the pitch of the MT-10's gears? If you know that and the number of teeth on the gear it'll help more in finding a possible replacement than just the height of the gear.

Outer diameter of a gear (the height of the diff) can be gotten by dividing the number of teeth + 2 by the gear pitch.

So for a 10T stealth diff that's 45t and 48p it's 45+2/48 = .979.

For imperial gears the result is in inches. For mod gears it's in mm.

I'm pretty sure it's a 48p gear. I'll have too look and count the teeth as well.

Thanks for the input
