I finally got the parts I needed from McMaster carr and started my 6 gear rebuilds.
One of the diff tubes is non-stock.
Can anyone help me identify it?
The most obvious difference in that. 1/4 (.24”) x1/8 ball bearing is replacing the .2” Teflon bushing.
Besides that it appears to be made of steel as it was rusted before cleaning , the original seems to be aluminum.
Out of curiosity, I pulled the spur gear off that car. It actually has that same steel tube as yours (for some reason, I thought it was aluminum). I tried to remove the bearing without disassembling the top shaft but it seems to be tight.
Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Mine was snug, put it came out with appropriate force.
I just came across one of these Losi diff tubes for the RC10. It seems crazy to me that Losi would have made an aftermarket part for the RC10 BITD. Maybe it was to try and encourage RC10 owners not to change over to Stealth gearboxes.

"I love the effort, but it sure looks like you took the long way around to a tub again"
This was pre JRX2, they did the steering kit as well. Good stuff!
That sticker date is waaaaay newer than the part
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas Factory Works website
Is there some trick to get the diff gear off the diff tube. I have a bushing in there I'd like to replace with a bearing, but I can't seem to get the thing apart. Anyone have suggestions?

get a big pair of wire cutters, the cutting jaws are angled, so you put the jaws open end facing the gear and a little squeeze and the gear pops right off. I know this is an old thread. But still a good tip.
Anyone know how to remove the diff pinion gear fom the diff tube in the 6 gear transmission without destroying it? I tried to buy a new tube but had no luck finding one. These old parts are near impossible to find.
Thanks.

Thanks. I got it to come off but it took more than just twisting it! Hard to believe it doesn't loosen up on it's own from use.
Does anyone know of an aftermarket diff screw/spring washer set for the original losi LRM transmission? I've never heard of one, but figured it was worth asking.
I'm gathering for a build. So far I have aftermarket or losi upgrades for everything on...

Wow that's a cool idea! I want to make a complete after market RC10 6 gear transmission one of these days.
Hi everyone! Here's a tube chassis I've been tinkering on for quite some time. This one is actually a prototype, Serial Number 1. I have several of these chassis built with various changes to each one, but those haven't been photographed yet. I will...

Love the chassis build
have you considered releasing build sheets for the DIY peeps
finally got some pics of my build going and wanted to post them up here as i build them.
keep in mind this is just a prototype so forgive the crappy welds, they will clean up nicely anyway. i used 3/16 stainless tube (the coated stuff gives off...

thanks, im planning to make 10 or so, i actually scrapped the above chassis after completing more of it for a simpler design with less welds and more strength, got some advice from the crawler forum.
if i get enough steel to make more, i will make...
New to the forum and i posted some stuff about an aluminum tranny case (stealth style) that i machine and i got it taken off the forum. i wanted to say i apologize for that... now what i am doing is a complete tube frame and aluminum component part...

I've been patiently looking for a set to do a trophy girl replica car.
I've been on the hunt for a tube chassis for years. I've missed out on a few in the past so when Spanky posted some of the chassis he made, I took the bait. I bought his #2 chassis and it came in the mail today and I'm happy.

This is so killer! I've always wanted a tube sand rail since I saw that one in RC action that had the cooler and cup holders!!! That's was the 90s!
I picked this car up a couple years ago now exactly as you see it. Well actually it’s probably a little dirtier now from just sitting on a shelf in the garage.
Since there’s not too many AE parts on this one I figured we could all have a little fun...

That swiss cheesed transmission brace is trick. Slightly stiffer than a wet piece of cardboard!
