Can anyone help with this one?

I know some of you don't visit the Tamiya forum and this is maybe more of a Thorp question

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Are they still in business? I cant find their website. They had some pretty cool stuff. I love their gears. I would like to see if they are making any new stuff

Last post

You can find the occasional Thorp part for old Traxxas vehicles, but I haven't seen a ball diff in years. Usually the idlear delrin gears and the top shaft delrin gears are what show up on ebay.

It's a shame too as I have one of their ball diffs...

First post

Is anyone familiar with the Thorp Dirt Burners 64 pitch Diff conversion? I've got one and the spacer on the shaft is too long and it won't let me close the trans case. It also protrudes past the idler gear. I've attached some pics against the...

I have two of the Thorp kits. I'm going to check what versions I own now.

Thank you, I'm pretty curious

You don’t see much info out there about these…This is from my collection for reference.

Thorp hard anodized aluminum gears.

Early parts:
#5101 left gear
#5102 right gear
#5103 Diff gear

Later they came out with a center bearing diff gear,...

Last post

The Thorp Delrin top shaft gear also fits properly on the Losi A-3120 Hydra-Drive/Slipper shaft. Which means it will also fit the A-3007 JRX-Pro top shaft and the A&L Power Clutch shaft.

I've just done this exactly after I received the...

First post

I just scored this on the 'Bay...I hope I'm not mistaken, but isn't this comparable to the OT-76 Hard Final Pinion Gear? I confirmed with some searching that it's made out of steel.

Part # 4738 info:

Last post

Just a quick confirmation--received the gear today, it's an exact match for the stock OT-41 gear. It's made of steel however, and is significantly heavier than the stock aluminum gear. As OT-76 hard final pinion gears are few and far between (and...

My cousin is at this big Futaba race in St Louis. Wish I was, it’s not far away(must be nice to be single). He sent me a few pics from his phone. Here are the few that aren’t trophy girls. :mrgreen:

I bought this for my Astute and I guess/hope it's 48DP would that be correct :?: Dirt Burners.JPG

Last post

Not sure about the astute version, but on the ultima/optima version the inner gear and counter gear were distinct for the underdrive/overdrive sets. You couldnt mix/match at will, but one of them worked with stock (as the one above probably does.

First post

anybody have any old thorp parts lists or catalogs they could scan? I'm specifically looking for any losi listings, but would be interested to see what else they made.
Thanks!

Last post

I have a partial catalog but shows very little losi. Mostly Tamiya, kyosho showing the diffs broke down by part#'s. If you need any scans of the ball diffs just let me know.
